I am not sure I get your points correctly. If user writes values to
pattern interface which means we activated the pattern.
If I am wrong, could you elaborate on the issue you concerned? Thanks.

The reason you met segfault when doing "cat pattern" is you should not
return one static pattern array, since in pattern_show() it will help
to free the pattern memory, could you change to return one pattern
pointer with dynamic allocation like my patch 2?

I am afraid we can not remove it. If the driver did not supply
pattern_set/get/clear, we should not still show the pattern interfaces
for userspace. Or am I missed anything?
Thanks for your comments.
