Hi Gwendal,

Thank you for your patch.

Oh, what you mean with this? Uptime is only exposed via sysfs or I am missing
something.

Ideally, if uptime can be supported or not we should only expose uptime when is
supported, so the sysfs entry should only be created when is supported, similar
to what we do with the console_log. See cros_ec_create_console_log()

If doing this doesn't break userspace, I'd prefer doing in that way.

Thanks,
 Enric
