I didn't know either, I just read about it in the thread. Thanks for the
heads up. We probably want to change it for the other _show() structs.

Right. we probably want to move a few _stores to kstrtobool(). Here is
what I have in mind:
	* enabled_store()
	* release_store()
	* extended_store()

That said, there are two ways moving forward:

1) I forward fix it. I've send v3 earlier today[1], I can send a patch
on top of it.
2) I fix this in a v4 patch. Probably a patchset of 3 patches:
	a) Move the current snprintf to emit_sysfs()
	b) Move kstrtoint() to kstrtobool()
	c) This new feature using emit_sysfs() and kstrtobool().

What is the best way moving forward?


Thanks for the review!
