Full bug at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1667505 Lee (cc'ed) pinged me a couple of days ago about the same issue. My preference would be to add back a dummy read handler without the corresponding (unused) se_dev_attrib.pi_prot_format member. I'll prepare something tomorrow with this, but if it's urgent then I'd also be okay with a straight revert. Cheers, David
