I don't know what gamma_table_count is supposed to do.  The only place
it is used is in s6e63m0_sysfs_show_gamma_table().  That function
doesn't actually show the table - it just prints out gamme_table_count.
Why is that useful?

Ho hum, the patch is clearly correct - the array stores int*'s and the
sysfs file should display "3" for all architectures.  However I suspect
we could just remove the whole sysfs file and nobody would care...
