Hi,

I notice that sysfsutils applies settings only once, upon system start.
I find this insufficient, as some settings should probably be applied
earlier (rfkill-disables), and some files in /sys will only appear later
(e.g. upon module load, plugging in USB device, rfkill changes, suspend
wakeup (see #473413)). It would be great if, upon creation of a new
sysfs node, sysfsutils would apply possible settings.

I have no idea how to implement this nicely, or at all. Does sysfs
support inotify? Are there other ways the kernel tells the userspace about
changes to /sys?

Greetings,
Joachim
