And there might be ways to convert binary to strings, perhaps look into
doing that?
ANJALI> I am not sure what you mean by that? 
Could I create a new /proc node which is not strings, but rather dumps a struct? That is what will help us the most. Not sure it will be acceptable solution to upstream.

Thanks
