Why isn't this an attribute of the usb device instead? And there's no need to reorder the .h file includes in patch 06 while you are adding a sysfs entry, that should be a separate commit, right? Also, the line: + .attrs = (struct attribute **)peak_usb_sysfs_attrs, Is odd, there should never be a need to cast anything like this if you are doing things properly. So this still needs work, sorry. thanks, greg k-h
