You're stripping lines beginning with #. This is the commit in -next:

leds: netdev trigger: use memcpy in device_name_store
If userspace doesn't end the input with a newline (which can easily
happen if the write happens from a C program that does write(fd,
iface, strlen(iface))), we may end up including garbage from a
previous, longer value in the device_name. For example
eth12
eth32
which is entirely useless and confusing. Please fix this before it
actually hits mainline. And you may want to look into "git commit
--cleanup" and/or "git config commit.cleanup" (scissors is much better
than the default strip).
