The need we have in the user application is for read-only access. 

I have attached the same old patch with just the minor file attribute change,
which would make the sysfs interface to read-only. If in future, there are good
reasons to expose that interface as read/write, updating that attribute can be
revisited.

Can this now be included in your tree ? This minor patch may be helpful to many
Ideapad users with a Hybrid machine.


PS: Given how minimal the change is, I just hand updated the patch. If you want
it in the proper git send-email flow, please let me know.
