I think the /sys interface is preferred in general, but I doubt the /proc one is going away and that's what e.g. flash-kernel et al all look at (maybe they should eventually transition too). Not sure when the /sys variant was added I suspect it is well before the threshold of kernel versions we are interested in nowadays. Ian.
