Please use function_name() not function_name as that makes it clear what
this is about.

The point is?

You're not changing sysfs_emit(). You change the variables in the irq
functions.

That's a separate change and has nothing to do with $subject

Ditto.

Please keep reverse fir tree ordering and stick the two int variables
into one line, i.e. 

  	struct irq_desc *desc = container_of(kobj, struct irq_desc, kobj);
	const char *p = "";
	int cpu, len = 0;

Please rework against
