So, just don't do it. Sysfs is for device hierarchy. Don't try to shove pretty looking things there (unless it's something widely agreed on and necessary, of course).
Hi, I think that it is exactly what holders/slaves do - displaying device hierarchy. So application can check which underlying device are related and ask them for more info if needed (=> with system specific call, it can be simple sysfs attribute, ioctl, whatever). So the only request here is to keep these symlinks correct, nothing more. Or am I missing anything? Milan
