Isn't it too late to change the sysfs entry after the device has been probed and initialized by the kernel as the kernel does not look at this value after that? Why do you need a userspace knob for this? What tool is going to ever change this, and what logic is it going to use to change it? Why can't the kernel also just "do the right thing" and properly detect this option as well as userspace can? thanks, greg k-h
