Ah. Messy. Then should this be a per-device value and don't worry about the type at all? You have a field in the device already, why not make it: enum device_removable { DEVICE_REMOVABLE_NOT_SUPPORTED = 0, /* must be 0 */ DEVICE_REMOVABLE_UNKNOWN, DEVICE_REMOVABLE, DEVICE_FIXED, }; And then only show the file if a device does NOT have the value set to DEVICE_REMOVABLE_NOT_SUPPORTED? If a bus/subsystem/whatever wants the device to have a sysfs file and value there, then it needs to set it to anything other than 0 and it will be created? That gets you out of the device bus/type mess and it is localized to only the device itself, allowing for any device to do this? Should make the logic everywhere a bit simpler as well. thanks, greg k-h
