What is return value here?
Also, do you register this driver as connector user? If not, you can not
use 0 group number, since it will search only for registered kernel
side, and if there was no registration, it can not obtain address of the
userspace side. You can specify group (7 in your cae) as a parameter
instead.

I suppose userspace was bound to (1<<7) group number or was subscribed
using socket option to 7'th group.
