I have some doubts in Device attributes.
In order to create files in sysfs we use DEVICE_ATTR() macro is used.

But how to create the files and pass the values to the files.
Why we need to use DEVICE_ATTR() macro.......is that any specific purpose r we using.

static DEVICE_ATTR(temp_max, S_IWUSR | S_IRUGO,
show_temp_max, set_temp_max);
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7252

You can use sysfs APIs too.

You can have a look into USBIP project's source code for more details.
