Those blobs can only be read. So, don't confuse users with 'writable'
flags.

Found while working with blobs myself. I don't have the HW.

Wouldn't it make sense at the same time to convert ugly namings to
octal permissions?

I think this is out-of-scpoe for this patch. While I also use octals
personally, I don't feel strongly about it and let others use what they
prefer.

Linus has (had?) a strong opinion about it. My point is to reduce the
churn since two patches fixing the very same parameter in a row seems
too much to me.

I'd still prefer that and having a seperate patch fixing the whole
driver. IMO better than having a mixture of octals and defines.

You can convert the rest as well. And point out that only blobs are RO.
Whatever, the main idea is to do both things either with one patch or
two in a series at the same time.
