Since there are only two sysfs attributes here as of now,
I will be going with your former suggestion of using a new goto label.
Will this be okay:

+       result = device_create_file(dev->device, &dev_attr_model);
+       if (result)
+               goto remove_file;
+

+ remove_file:
+       device_remove_file(dev->device, &dev_attr_reset_controller);
  put_dev:

Please let me know. 
Will send the version-2 of this patch once you confirm.

Regards,
Sujith
