No, you need to set the attribute group _before_ you call
led_classdev_register, as that is where the device will be created in
sysfs.  Surely the other led drivers already do this?  I'm almost afraid
to go look...
Yes, they do it already, set .dev_attr_group and you should be fine.
But this isn't an attribute of the LEDs but rather of the parent HID
device that is being probed (the led_mode is common to all three LEDs
and thus belongs in the parent device, right?).
Then that's even worse :(

The sysfs attribute should be on the class device here for the LED, you
should not put an attribute on a device you are not the driver for.
