Interesting size, too bad you don't reference it again:

PAGE_SIZE here?

Which is it (note, some arches PAGE_SIZE is not 4k...)

You set .is_visable above, how could it not be set?

No, sysfs_create_group will call .is_visable, right?  You shouldn't need
to call it yourself or check it, at all.

Same here, you shouldn't have to check .is_visable.

Why -1?  Please use a real error value.
