If it is that easy, why do kernel developers have the same problems like Wally Bkg and myself, and problems of this kind are everywhere? Guys like Derek Molloy spend a lot of effort in writing good tutorials. And most documentations are outdated with the next small kernel update? Names in /sys should never change! OK, sometimes it needs a clean-up. But that should only happen when the major kernel version number changes. And a clear documentation is obligatory.
