Hi Adi,

Rather than doing this minor change please take on making these
report via the read_avail() callback.

This is a reasonably old driver, so some of that infrastructure may
not have existed back then.  Moving to the callback makes the
available info accessible to in kernel consumers and ensures correct
formatting etc.

To make that sort of change you'll need to work out how to test it.
Probably just commenting out accesses to the device and reading only
the files you are affecting will be enough here.

Thanks,

Jonathan
