Also, please use sysfs_emit() for any sysfs file output.  It's in all
active kernels for a very long time now.

We have a "Y/N/0/1/y/n" check function for sysfs store callbacks that
you should use instead.

Please use an attribute group now that you have multiple files.

That just hosed the alignment in this structure :(

Please be aware of how memory layouts for common kernel structures are
managed, and try not to add holes when you do not need to.
