And here we have a problem. This is a race condition.
At this time you've already created the sysfs files. So
their methods can be called. They will lock a mutex and/or
schedule work that hasn't been initialized.
The initialization must be done before anything in sysfs
is created.

Sorry for noticing this thread late.
