I just noticed an apparent randomness to the reported size of these files.
what does this mean ?
Nothing, you can't trust the length of sysfs files, as they are not set.
Only exception is some binary sysfs files, those values should be
correct.
Is there a reason you are concerned? Does reading from these files not
work properly for you?
no, all is well. they have good numbers.
I was looking closer than usual cuz Im running a patch which collapses
multiple sysfs-callback routines into combo routines using
sensor_attribute_2's
2nd field to distinguish which 'function' to do.
I get up to 5:1 callback count reduction for some of the sensor types,
and 9% overall .ko savings. but I digress ;)
thanks
