  - misc: ad525x_dpot: use driver core groups for sysfs files ad_dpot_probe() creates per-RDAC sysfs files
    manually and then optionally creates the command sysfs group. This leaves probe responsible for rolling
    back partial sysfs state and makes remove responsible for matching every file that probe created. Move the
    device attributes into driver core dev_groups for the I2C and SPI drivers and use an is_visible() callback
    to expose only the attributes supported by the probed device. With this shape, the driver core creates the
    sysfs files only after probe succeeds and removes them before the remove callback frees the driver data.
