Indeed, thanks for the catch. We probably can't change the attribute from ziirave_wdt, which is a bit unfortunate as "firmware_version" would nicely match the name from "struct watchdog_info". How about "fw_version"? That would match the naming of sysfs attributes from a bunch of other subsystems. And obviously an addition to Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-watchdog is also missing from the patch. I'll add it in v2. Thomas
