It’s the same reason that the device tree core is using it.

It is doing that for "raw" device tree files, not individual attributes,
right?

Each property of a device tree is a binary attribute.

Because they export binary data, right?  I don't have access to a
machine that uses device tree at the moment to check this...

Any specific file/function you are referring to?

Yes, they export binary data. It works because the device tree nodes
are raw kobjs.

Great, then the device tree is doing this correctly :)

For text files, use real attribute files, that's the proper way to
handle sysfs from kobjects.
