hi,

is there a special way reserved for writing on power/state in the device
directories?
a simple echo {0,1,2,3} doesn't work, because of the trailing newline.
only with echo -n it works.
i was very confused about that... i needed two days to figure this out
:)
maybe it's a good idea to allow an value with \n  .. because other state
files like /sys/power/state also allows trailing newlines.

can you please give me a hint, if there is another special way to set a
single device in suspend. or is there a reason for ignoring trailing
newline?

thanks,
daniel

simple patch for allowing trailing newlines in state_strore in sysfs.c :
