I agree, there should not be two methods to doing the same thing.
I prefer the ioctl since it handles other cmd's as well.
The user has to use the ioctl to start the write so it would for more
natural to use the ioctl over sysfs to the check the status
Remove it.
Make a strong case for it's need when/if you want to add it back later.
