Ah. Messy.
Then should this be a per-device value and don't worry about the type at
all? You have a field in the device already, why not make it:
enum device_removable {
DEVICE_REMOVABLE_NOT_SUPPORTED = 0, /* must be 0 */
DEVICE_REMOVABLE_UNKNOWN,
DEVICE_REMOVABLE,
DEVICE_FIXED,
};
And then only show the file if a device does NOT have the value set to
DEVICE_REMOVABLE_NOT_SUPPORTED?
If a bus/subsystem/whatever wants the device to have a sysfs file and
value there, then it needs to set it to anything other than 0 and it
will be created?
That gets you out of the device bus/type mess and it is localized to
only the device itself, allowing for any device to do this? Should make
the logic everywhere a bit simpler as well.
