Don't hide the driver core change inside a patch doing other stuff.
(it is a nice change though!)

Otherwise, just a request for units in the sysfs ABI docs.

Nice to see the format /units of these described in this doc as well as the spec.
Section number etc also good if you can add it to these docs.

I like the idea of a nice generic wrapper for this but definitely not
deep inside a patch doing something else.
