Subject: sysfs filenames with spaces

This doesn't seem like a great idea to me.

For my system I've got:

/sys/devices/platform/Fixed MDIO bus.0/
/sys/bus/platform/drivers/int3401 thermal/
/sys/bus/platform/drivers/int3403 thermal/
/sys/bus/platform/drivers/int3400 thermal/
/sys/bus/mdio_bus/drivers/Generic PHY/
/sys/bus/mdio_bus/drivers/Generic Clause 45 PHY/
/sys/bus/pnp/drivers/i8042 aux/
/sys/bus/pnp/drivers/i8042 kbd/
/sys/bus/i2c/drivers/CHT Whiskey Cove PMIC/

Could these filenames be avoided in the future or
even renamed today?
