I also agree, it is a much simpler implementation.

But I don't think we should change format of the existing 'status' sysfs node,
it impacts the existing users. Just freeze it and add no new user.

Even if we change the status interface to raw hex output, issues are still there.
I guess you may want to output bits specifically defined by each driver, but then
it makes no sense to have this generic class interface. Users can't tell
what the status is by just reading the interface.
So as I mentioned before, my preference is driver creates its own sysfs
interface for its own hardware status if needed.
