I think the desired interface is actually that the user mkdir the bdf in
<configfs>/xe/. This populates the available config entries that the user
writes to.

once you handle the mkdir mentioned above, this should probably be
a boolean attr like this:

	drivers/nvme/target/configfs.c:CONFIGFS_ATTR(nvmet_, param_pi_enable);

so... it seems you are missing a configfs_group_operations.make_group.

this mutex_init seems odd, but inline with other drivers

drop this.. We want a  config struct in the xe_device. It's actually
allocated by the mkdir in the configs and when we are probing, we should
find the config instace based on pdev and set the pointer xe->configfs
or something like that.
