If sysfs entry creation fails, the driver is still usable, so don't just abort probe. Just warn and continue.
I understand that I am a bit late to the party :) but I do not agree with this change. Failure to create attributes is not sometihng that user could cause (at least not easily) and thus would not be a setup issue but something more severe. I believe we should fail loading the driver so sysfs attribute breakage will be noticed as soon as possible, instead of discovering it much much later in the process. So I think we should revert this one. Thanks. -- Dmitry
