Uh, this sysfs file here looks a lot like uapi for some compositor to
decide what to do. Do you have the userspace for this?

Also a few more thoughts on this:
- You can't just add more fields to uapi structs.
- This doesn't really feel like it was ever reviewed to fit into atomic.
- sysfs should be one value per file, not a smorgasbrod of things stuffed
  into a binary structure.
