Hello Dmitry

I have submitted v8 patch-set to address your comments towards v7
patch-set,
most of checkpatch warnings and errors have been addressed,

But I didn't update for following two types of warnings
since I want to keep consistency with legacy code

WARNING: DEVICE_ATTR unusual permissions '0600' used
#290: FILE: drivers/input/touchscreen/atmel_mxt_ts.c:3761:
+static DEVICE_ATTR(debug_v2_enable, 0600, NULL,

What will happen if you'll use 0644? Will an empty line be returned or
driver will crash?

debug_v2_enable doesn't have .show callback implemented, so after change
permission to 644, read of it results in an I/O error,

for other 0600 permission interfaces (t38_data, t25 and debug_enable)
added in this series,
change to 644 can return expected information when read.

Do you think it's better to change debug_v2_enable to 0200,
and others to 0644?

Since the debug_enable has mxt_debug_enable_show(), the same should be
done for debug_v2_enable, for consistency.

The permissions should be 0644 for everything that is read/write.

The 0200 should be used for everything that is root-only and write-only.

Thanks for your comments and suggestion in another email,
I will submit v9 patch-set to address these warnings

Thanks,
Jiada
