Please don't, unless these attributes are something that all other i2c
drivers export and are documented in Documentation/ABI/

No, please never use "raw" kobjects in a driver, use the driver core
functions instead.  You can have an attribute group that is associated
with your driver or device, and the driver core will automatically
create the files for you (in a subdir if you want it), in a race-free
manner.  Please use that interface instead.
