Hmm, this kind of casting tells me that this is binary, not text data
and thus binary sysfs attribute shoudl be used.

You don't really need a spinlock to set one integer.

You shoudl not be mixing _irq/_irqrestore. Also it is probably not
needed at all. If it is needed then the common style to acquire and
release locks only once in a function - this makes checking whether
lock/unlock is balanced easier.

So what are we protecting exactly? What if act_dpi will become -1 here
(after you released the spinlock?

Stopped looking - locking obviously is bogus and needs to be redone. You
need to decide what exactly needs protection and what critical sections
are.
