because changing the permission will cause the same issue:
Actually, I take that back. Mauro's patch will already create the file
anyway:
if (mci->set_sdram_scrub_rate || mci->get_sdram_scrub_rate)
Adjusting the permissions is simply the last missing piece to this patch
to make the interface to userspace 100% coherent.

Subject: [PATCH] EDAC: only create sdram_scrub_rate where supported
Currently, sdram_scrub_rate sysfs node is created even if the device
doesn't support get/set the scub rate. Change the logic to only
create this device node when the operation is supported.
If only read or only write is supported, it will keep returning -ENODEV
just like before.

And of course you all know that creating sysfs attributes via
'device_create_file' opens all sort of funny race conditions,
especially when checking these attributes from udev ...
Please consider adding a default attribute which return '-EINVAL' or
somesuch when the function pointers are not set.
But _not_ adding it via device_create_file(). That's evil.
Cheers,
Hannes
