There seem to be several ways this is done in existing sysfs drivers,
and most aren't documented yet in Documentation/ABI.

1. "0" and "1"
2. "enable" and "disable"
3. "enabled" and "disabled"
4. "enable" and "disable" when writing, but "enabled" and "disabled"
    when read back

Some require trailing "\n", others make it optional.

Which is the One True Way?
