Since usbatm doesn't set the usb_interface driver data until after calling bind and heavy_init, it would be NULL when the sysfs attributes are read. Reading the MAC address from atm_dev before atm_dev exists would have been be possible too. Calling create_device_file in atm_start will avoid this problem, and the data is useless until the first status poll runs. However, it must be ready before a status poll does a printk on line status change otherwise userspace could react before the files exist. For completeness I've moved remove_device_file to atm_stop so it's not called in unbind when it's not needed. There's no point starting ADSL if atm_start could still fail either.
