Via something like hex_dump_to_buffer. This will allow easy human an machine parsing, and be more lightweight then adding a sysfs attr for each EXT_CSD byte (of which there are a lot). I'm basing this on the thought that the only clients of these attrbutes would either be developers or engineers involved with MMC media, or very specialized software. Thoughts?
