Thanks Denis.

I'll try that out too.

A trivial grep shows there are at least 130+
DEVICE_ATTR functions that have a show function
that doesn't include "show" in the function name.

$ grep-2.5.4 -rP --include=*.[ch] '\bDEVICE_ATTR\s*\(\s*\w+\s*,\s*[^,]+,\s*[^,]*,[^;]+;' * | \
  perl -p -e 's/[[:space:]]*//g; s/;/;\n/g' | \
  cut -f3 -d, | \
  grep -v show | \
  sort | uniq | wc -l
139

Those reference implementations could be send as
a separate patch but this preliminary script does
already handle them.

I do like the idea below of renaming the show
functions without _show in the name adding _show.
