Use cases (these are all very real use cases, that we use today, they
are not hypothetical):
* To include firmware and hardware versions in user feedback reports.
* Used by factory tests to ensure systems are being built and
deployed correctly.
* Lastly, these are also precursor patches for a larger set that
adds firmware update capability. A userspace firmware update script
can use these APIs to determine which file to load and/or whether such
a load is necessary.
If there is a standard non-driver-specific way of achieving these use
cases, I'd be happy to modify the implementation to adopt that
standard. From what I've seen, however, it looks like most drivers
have their own ad hoc way of exposing device/vendor specific
properties.
