Please wrap the documentation lines.
And who makes this assumption? The kernel? Userspace? Something else?
Who enforces it? What happens if it is not true?

I do not understand, this is a command that you write to this file?
That's not how sysfs files work at all.
And this isn't really very well documented, I do not understand if this
is read/write or just read or just write or a mix? And what are the
valid write values? Valid read? Why "init" vs. "initialized"?

"scription"? And is this a string length? Why not use the in-kernel

So all of the keys have a single header size?

So you are parsing the "init" and "record" strings twice? That feels
wrong, and might get out of sync easily.
But again, having a sysfs file that does "actions" like this is odd too,
as you have multiple things in the same string. sysfs is "one value per
file", why aren't you using configfs instead? That's meant for
configuring stuff, not sysfs.

Why doesn't crash_sysfs_dm_crypt_keys_write just return the count value
processed? No need to check the return value again.
