Subject: Re: [PATCH 05/11] touchscreen: elants: Use octal permissions

I ran a treewide script and changed them all to octal and built a kernel
which i am currently running on my machine, I have used DEVICE_ATTR_RO()
for 0444's where possible if i dont find any regressions I will post a
patch for review. I think i will be testing it at least for a week.
