The newest version of the accompanying userland tools cuts backward compatibility and uses libudev to find its devices superseding the quirky kone_abi_version sysfs attribute. Therefore it should be removed.
How backwards incompatible this change actually is? What happens if you run old userspace tool (the one which looks for kone_abi_version) on a kernel with this patch applied? Thanks, -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.
