Sorry, but sysfs files are "one value per file", you can't have a "list
of protocols with new lines" in a one value-per-file rule.

No need for a blank line.

So this is going to be a lot of data, what is ensuring that you didn't
truncate it?  Which again, is the reason why this is not a good idea for
sysfs, sorry.

What userspace tool wants this information?
