Subject: weird cooling_device/cur_state sysfs behaviour

Hi all,
Hope you're doing well with the situation.

I fill that my board get a cold too...

When I write to a sysfs node, I have a weird behaviour about the function that is called behind.
This bug appears on an arm32 odroid-xu3, and only after v5.4, v5.3.18 behave correctly.


Here my modification to see what's going on:

As you can see, the function is recalled with one character less, until the "buffer is empty".
I don't understand why. Can anybody help me for this thing?
Many thanks in advance.
