Commit a2db6842873c8e5a70652f278d469128cb52db70 changed the way that
sysfs attributes are handled. With lockdep checking enabled, a firmware
loading request from b43 generates the following BUG:

BUG: key ffff8800b85f4870 not in .data!
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: at kernel/lockdep.c:2706 lockdep_init_map+0x236/0x5d0()

(rest of dump snipped)

Fixed by initing the attribute.
