Hi Bjoern,

thanks a lot for the review of this and the other patches. I applied the series
to my -next tree.

I should add that this patch is special, since it changes sysfs attribute names.
I chose the direct method of changing the attribute names over providing both
the old and new names for a couple of releases, for a couple of reasons.
First, the "old" names are non-standard and thus not really useful for generic
applications, and second I did not find a reference that any of the non-standard
attributes is actually used. We'll find out if this will cause trouble.
