From reading the Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt, it seems like
it is not recommended that one use sysfs for anything other than
very simple (and single) attributes.
If you know of a piece of code that actually passes back a struct or
other binary blob of data, please point me to it so I can learn from it.
