There are no "standard" rules today in the udev tarball, only examples
copied from the distros. It's up to the distro maintainer to pick these
up if they want and it will show up with the next round of copying from
the package to the examples in the udev tree.

This should be exported in sysfs, yes. Reading such stuff from /proc
for new stuff, should be avoided these days. Care to give it a try to
export this in sysfs?

And your script writes to /tmp, which it shouldn't.

Thanks,
