Mike is really caring and went out for even any most obscure tuner bit to help to improve such stuff in the past, when we have been without any data sheets. To open second, maybe third and even forth ways for apps to use a device, likely going out of sync soon, does only load maintenance work without real gain. We should stay sharp to discover something others don't want to let us know about. All other ideas about markets are illusions. Or? So, debugfs sounds much better than sysfs for my taste. Any app and any driver, going out of sync on the latter, will remind us that backward compat _must always be guaranteed_ ... Or did change anything on that and is sysfs excluded from that rule?
