Those have been there "forever" in qib without requiring the change in the core sysfs code.

Seems like major overkill to have callbacks, when all we need is to get the structure that "owns" (is the parent kobject of) the directory. | And maybe we could clean up the existing code that does | device_create_file() to use a list of device attributes also... Seems to be a rather different issue, to me.
