Thank you, Greg, for a very quick review.
I have put this file in other patch.

Thanks, Greg.

Will switch to sysfs_emit() in my next version.

Actually, no. It is single value of boot stage.

Let me explain:
The boot progress consists of three things together: boot_stage, 
boot_status and boot_progress and they have no meaning if reported them 
as three separate values:
+ boot_stage is to indicate the boot stage
+ boot_status is to report the result of that boot_stage: started, 
complete or error.
+ boot_progress is to report more extra information for the stage other 
than the boot_stage/boot_status.

There is more information in the Documentation/ABI/testing sysfs patch.
