So reading the value changes the state of the system?  That's almost
always never a good idea.

Force userspace to write the value to change something.  Otherwise all
libraries that use sysfs will be accidentally changing the state of your
system without you ever knowing it.

Why do you need a lock to call readq()?  What are you protecting here?

Are you doing anything with this value?  If not, how about just using
the sysfs boolean read function and if it is 1, then do the clearing?

Same for all other show/store functions in here.
