I guess I wasn't specific enough. The sysfs ABI change must be a separate patch,
independent of the driver (and driver documentation) changes. If you want to document
the driver changes with the same patch as the driver or in a separate patch is up
to you, but I'll want the ABI changes in a separate patch.
