+ *		attribute in the group. Only read/write permissions as well as
+ *		SYSFS_PREALLOC are accepted. Must return 0 if an attribute is
+ *		not visible. The returned value will replace static permissions
+ *		defined in struct attribute or struct bin_attribute.
+ * @attrs:	Pointer to NULL terminated list of attributes.
+ * @bin_attrs:	Pointer to NULL terminated list of binary attributes.
+ *		Either attrs or bin_attrs or both must be provided.
