Generally having properties with a underscore in them breaks generic parsing
of the property name by userspace applications. This is because we use
underscores to separate different components (type, modifier, etc.) of the
attribute from each other.

Do you think calling this "nearlevel" would work?
That works as well. I'll change that for v3.

For my education: Is the type, modifier policy written down somewhere
(similar to
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/leds/leds-class.rst#n44
)?

Good point, this is quite badly documented at the moment.

The only thing I could find is this presentation by Daniel https://events.static.linuxfound.org/sites/events/files/slides/lceu15_baluta.pdf#page=9
