OK, as you like. It does help ensure that the functions that are supposed to be defined are available. There were a couple of occurrences of 0644 with no show or no store function. Among the three declarers, there are currently in total over 800 uses in the kernel, so they are also not so obscure. julia -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Use DEVICE_ATTR_RW for read-write attributes. This simplifies the source code, improves readbility, and reduces the chance of inconsistencies.
