I don't understand what "safety connection way" is.

I don't think this is correct. If user writes "12" to the file,
(!strncmp(buf, "1", 1)) will still be true, AFAICT. Similar problem
exists elsewhere in the file, with (!strncmp(buf, "host",
strlen("host"))).

This is adding new option to kernel interface. ("2" to sysfs file). I
believe that should be documented in Documentation/ABI.

Anyway, I'll most likely apply the patch, as problem needs to be fixed
in the mainline, first.

Best regards,
								Pavel
