No. Again, sysfs files should not need to be "parsed", they are one-value-per-file for a good reason. If you want to do something else, wonderful, but don't use sysfs. It's looking like this whole interface should not be using sysfs as it doesn't fit there at all. sorry, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
