A "driver" does not have a lifecycle state, a "device" does. You are putting all of these attributes in the wrong place. Put them on your device please, not the driver. driver-specific attributes are _VERY_ rare, and only for things that can modify/show for all devices attached to that driver. thanks, greg k-h
