I dunno if it's being discussed, but with this you effectively allow user to
override the setting. It may screw things up AFAIU the comment above.
No, this hasn't been discussed. At least not now. Thanks for the hint.
This attribute is writable for the root user, so we could argue that
the root user has several options to break the system anyway.
But it will mean the side effect on this driver and typical (root-run) system
application (systemd like?) should care now the knowledge about this
side-effect. I do not think it is desired behaviour. But I'm not a maintainer
and I commented here just to make everybody understand the consequences of the
change.
Jean, are you still fine with this patch then?
