Hi, I have a few minor comments on the patch.  It looks much better than
the last one.

Nice interface.

Does anyone build a s390 kernel without sysfs?  You can probably just
drop this ifdef.

Why have a format field, if you only use the same format?

Why not use __ATTR_RO() like you did above?

You are just directly addressing memory with this address, right?
Shouldn't you iomap it or something first?
