A board-level interface > is probably enough (/me waits for flame from Nishanth :) /me obliges with my 2cents ;) : on board level interface - yes - we should have it. on plugging out userspace: This is too risky an approach - having a mechanism to control SR from userspace is critical - yes folks can do a regwrite over /dev/mem to plug it out, but with multiple SR classes, it hardly ever going to be right. further, SR is a touchy beast to bad clk and system configurations - if we view debugfs as what it was meant to be: debug interface, SR deserves it. I agree that asking for userspace to have a sysfs is not worth it if board level interface has it. (and adding custom patches for every board developer out there... well.. it is not really worth the pain).
