Re: [PATCH 2.5.70+] Cleanup net-sysfs show and change functions

   This cleans up the network sysfs code to use helper functions to unify
   the show/change functions, by using common code in functions rather
   than template macros.
   
   The function always checks for dead devices, so I/O will fail.
   
Applied, thanks.
