It sounds like we're really back to stripping one trailing \n to match the sysfs behavior to which people have become accustomed, and leave the rest of the string untouched in case the whitespace is intentional. Should a user intentionally have input ending in a newline, then they should add an additional newline, expecting it to be stripped, but otherwise, their string is taken as entered. Does this sound right? Meanwhile, I'll try a test to see how name_to_dev_t handles files with spaces in them.
