[PATCH] sysfs: change permissions for /sys from 0755 to 0555

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Date: Wed Dec 14 2011 - 10:40:56 EST


There is a misleading difference between /proc and /sys permissions, /proc is 0555 and /sys is 0755. But
as it is impossible to create or unlink something in /sys it would be nice to have same permissions.
