Hi Dan,

The description in TODO is difficult to understand. I would appreciae if
you could help me understand it more in a step-by-step simplified means.

"This configuration needs to be moved to sysfs instead of being done through
+     IOCTL. Goind forward, we need to port userspace tools to use sysfs instead
+     of IOCTL and then we would delete IOCTL."
