I find interface with mandatory \n quite 'interesting'. 

Plus english is strange here. All devices have ... "auto" to allow...?
Strange formulation. List the values first, then add "write ... to allow"?

Is it wise to specify 'auto' default value for devices without runtime
pm?

parenthesis after sizeof?

Do I read it correctly that all of

"auto"
"auto\n"
"auto\non\nIm confused"

will switch to auto?

(and sorry for late reply...)
