v6 of this patchset carries your ack of the patch that uses this for 
/sys/debug/resume, so are you disagreeing we need this support at all or 
that it shouldn't be the generic sysfs write behavior?  If the latter, I 
agree, and the changelog could be improved to specify what writes we 
actually care about.
