No, this needs to be a debugfs file, sysfs is "one value per file", stuff like this is not allowed at all. Please remove these sysfs files entirely, they are not allowed. If you feel you really need them, put them in debugfs. As-is, this patch is not acceptable, and a follow-on patch needs to be created to remove these sysfs files now. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
