Hi Jiri,

seems like you still haven't answered Linus' question.

I strongly believe it is a huge mistake to use sysfs for things like
this. This should be done via generic netlink api.

This doesn't change the problem that it is already that way. This patch
only adds the list of available files to the README.

Sure. Just found out you did it like that. Therefore I commented. I
suggest to rework the api to use genl entirely.

Hi Jiri,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Could you explain a bit more on which disadvantages you see in
the usage of sysfs here?

Linus is asking because of following patch: 
https://patchwork.open-mesh.org/patch/17340/

The next patch with a similar problem would be 
https://patchwork.open-mesh.org/patch/17372/. It is rather important that you 
are discussing this with Linus Luessing and Marek Lindner.

Kind regards,
	Sven
