Sorry, but no, you can't put this in /sys/kernel/ without getting the
approval of the sysfs maintainer.

I really don't understand why you are using kobjects in the first place,
why isn't this in the main device tree in the kernel, using 'struct
device'?

In the end, I guess it really doesn't matter as this code isn't getting
merged so I shouldn't worry about it, right?

thanks,
