If the mantra about sysfs attributes being superior to IOCTLs is true,
then anyone who converts to sysfs attributes is going to run into this
problem. In the IOCTL model permission obviously follows the owner of
the /dev device. There is no parallel for this in the sysfs model.
This is making me want to switch everything back to the IOCTLs since
they are still in place.
I see how group/user sysfs attributes can control things, but there
should some better way to achieve control. That feels awfully clunky
to me.
