Fabrice,

Would you be able to check the values of buf and len before they enter
sysfs_emit()? I think redefining the enums_available_show() function
like this should suffice:

static ssize_t enums_available_show(const u32 *const enums,
                                    const size_t num_enums,
                                    const char *const strs[], char *buf)
{
        size_t len = 0;
        size_t index;

        for (index = 0; index < num_enums; index++){
                pr_info("buf: %p\tbuf+len: %p\tlen: %zu\n", buf, buf + len, len);
                len += sysfs_emit(buf + len, "%s\n", strs[enums[index]]);
        }

        return len;
}

I want to see whether the issue is due to the sysfs_emit() return value
or the value of buf.

Thank you,

William Breathitt Gray
