So here's an opportunity for you:
The sysfs maintainer hasn't added include/linux/sysfs.h to
the list of maintained files...

btw: there are many uses of a reversed declaration style of DEVICE_ATTR
Here's another thing that could be done for more DEVICE_ATTR_<FOO> uses.
===
Some DEVICE_ATTR definitions use a reversed static function form from
the typical. Convert them to use the more common macro form so it is
easier to grep for the style.
i.e.:
static ssize_t show_<foo>(...)
and
static ssize_t store_<foo>(...)
where the static function names in the DEVICE_ATTR_RW macro are reversed
static ssize_t <foo>_show(...)
and
static ssize_t <foo>_store(...)
Done with perl script
$ cat dev_attr_rw_backwards.perl
local $/;
while (<>) {
my $file = $_;
while ($file =~ m/\bDEVICE_ATTR\s*\(\s*(\w+)\s*,/g) {
my $var = $1;
if ($file =~ s/\bDEVICE_ATTR\s*\(\s*${var}\s*,\s*\(?(\s*S_IRUGO\s*\|\s*S
$file =~ s/\bshow_${var}\b/${var}_show/g;
$file =~ s/\bstore_${var}\b/${var}_store/g;
}
}
print $file;
}
$ git grep --name-only -w DEVICE_ATTR | \
xargs perl -i dev_attr_rw_backwards.perl
