It lists the targets of the overlay that has been applied. What do
you need in order to be helped? I mean what do you want listed?

It’s the same reason that the device tree core is using it.
Believe it or not, this is the simplest way to do it.
If you take a look at the sysfs attribute implementation, the binary
implementation is the one that’s using the least amount of code.
To use a non-binary method we have to register per ktype sysfs_ops
and duplicate the way the non-binary attribute works.
For the gory details look at sysfs_add_file_mode_ns() in fs/sysfs/file.c
I can add the sysfs_ops but that’s going to be more complicated not less.
