You are using network comment style. Other parts of the kernel have 
different style. See 
https://docs.kernel.org/process/coding-style.html#commenting

I would have put the comment before the if, it would have been a single 
line comment and you would have avoided the { }

It is odd to include module internal.h outside of module.

If you really need a function from module, I think you should move its 
prototype to include/linux/module.h

What implementation?

This changelog doesn't make too much sense on it's own, and that's not
good.  Please explain what this attribute is for and what it is going to
do, AND include the documentation for the attribute please.

This can not fail?

Odd commenting style.

And yes, if this fails, that is NOT good, please fix that up.

But why is this a static attribute like this as part of the
module_kobject structure and not just a "normal" attribute that is
shared by all kobjects?

Why?  Isn't this automatically cleaned up by the kobject core?

Again, error checking :(

#ifdef does not belong in .c files, and mucking around in kernel/params
to go into module/internal.h feels like a layering problem.

You drop the reference on a kobject and then add a sysfs file to it?

Why is this being called here at all?

thanks,
