I don't understand why you would use a device for this which
seems to me is just another control function. Doesn't this
function belong in sysfs too?
To me, the distinction is between controlling the function and the transfer
of information resulting from the function, which may be a stream of
arbitrary length. Sysfs (IMHO) isn't really intended for things that can
return 16-20K responses.
sysfs is already used for transferring information. See firmware.agent
for an example.
Using sysfs is consistent with what's done now.
