Hi Lee,

I'll have a proper look and test at this later, but it looks pretty good 
to me, so just a couple of minor nits.

If you create an array of struct attribute_group's and set 
soc_dev->dev.groups to that then the driver core will handle creating 
the attributes for you and removing them at cleanup.  It also means the 
attributes will get created at device creation time so there isn't a 
potential race with udev events looking for attributes that haven't been 
created yet.

I don't think you need this - I think it's fine to say that a 
precondition of calling this is that the device is registered (that's 
what the platform_device layer does).

I don't think this is quite right - we're freeing the bus on the first 
unregister and we won't be able to register any more soc devices.  As 
this can't sensibly be a loadable module I think it's fine to leave it 
always registered.

device_unregister() should do this for you.  The device could still be 
hanging around after device_unregister() if there are active references 
to it so we don't want to free the memory too early.  We should have a 
release function in the struct device set in soc_device_register that 
frees the struct soc_device.

I'm not sure you need kobject.h and platform_device.h here.

This can be private to the implementation file.
