But we need to do that so we > don't break all of the userspace code at the same time :) I am not sure what attributes are typically found in classes (pointers to existing implementations would be welcome), but please keep in mind that no single sysfs file will ever be found in all hwmon clients. The sysfs interface we defined is about how the files should be named for present features, but no part of this interface is required for any given driver (this wouldn't make sense).
