I'm not an expert of the device infrastructure of the Linux kernel, but
I suspect it's because you don't return the number of bytes that you
have taken into account.

The store() method has the following prototype:

ssize_t (*store)(struct class_device *, const char * buf, size_t count);

So you must return the number of bytes that have been written.

Sincerly,

Thomas
