The libertas driver was trying to register sysfs groups "by hand" which causes them to be created _after_ the device is initialized and announced to userspace, which causes races and can prevent userspace tools from seeing the sysfs files correctly. Fix this up by using the built-in sysfs_groups pointers in struct net_device which were created for this very reason, fixing the race condition, and properly allowing for any error that might have occured to be handled properly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
