Ahhh, of course.  What a cunning hiding place! :-)

However it doesn't suit my need - I want something more abstracted.

I can see there may well be a place for a simple on/off switch for some
components, but then I would prefer to see it as

   /sys/class/power-switch/$devicename/state

rather than

  /sys/devices/platform/reg-userspace-consumer.X/{name,state}


Thanks,
NeilBrown
