This is simply the bin_attribute analog to sysfs_remove_file_self().

No, no binary sysfs file should be triggering a remove.

binary sysfs files are "pass-through-only" from userspace to hardware,
the kernel should not be even knowing what is read/written to them.

What do you think this is needed for?

thanks,
