Greg KH wrote:
- Do not use libsysfs
It makes assumptions about sysfs which are not true. Its API does not
offer any abstraction, it exposes all the kernel driver-core
implementation details in its own API. Therefore it is not better than

Over time there have been a number of problems when sysfs has changed in
"unexpected" ways. Here's a document that Kay wrote a while ago that
I'd like to add to the kernel Documentation directory to help userspace

Any comments or critique of this is greatly appreciated.
