Do not define your own locking macros.  That makes the code impossible
to review.

And are you _sure_ you need a rw lock?  You have benchmarked where it
has a performance impact?

ftrace is your friend, no need for any such logging lines anywhere in
these files.

Why is your attribute group in a subdirectory?  Why not in the "normal"
class directory?

You are adding sysfs files to the kernel without any Documentation/ABI/
entries, which is a requirement.  Please fix that up for the next time
you send these.

Shouldn't this function create the memory needed for this structure?
You are relying ont he caller to do it for you, why?

Do not make up error values, use the proper -EXXXX value instead.

Why even have this function if you do not do anything in it?

There should be in-kernel functions for this now, no need for you to
roll your own.
