Re: [PATCH] Unify sysfs filenames for firmware version

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The hearburn I have with these patches is that you are changing driver-specific
attributes, not common ones as enforced/requested by a subsystem. As such, you
are breaking a management interface for existing tools/scripts.

There's been a long-standing request to create common device attributes, such as
fw_version, but I don't think they ever made it into the kernel. Not only would
the names be consistent, but the location would be consistent as well.

I'd rather you took on that work, than proceed with these patches.

Looking around sysfs in an attempt to pull out SCSI card firmware
versions I found 5 different filenames used to store the information.
Only one, fw_version, was used more than once. The patch below changes
the other drivers to use this filename too.

I suspect the same applies to other subsystem drivers as well. I'll look
at them assuming this patch is well received.
