Greg it looks fine to me, I'm LCA'ing at the moment, so if you can
push it via your tree I'm fine with it, if you can let it sit in an
-mm picked up tree for a bit I'd appreciate it, but we don't do much
with sysfs anyways other than create the dev..
I'm going to hopefully get around to the drm/fb merge layer in the
next month so I'd prefer to start from a clean state..
Dave.
