Yes, I started that way and found /sys/block/rssda is a sym link to
/sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:01.0/0000\:01\:00.0/block/rssda/.
That is when I got the doubt, is it ok to use the sym link path or
should use the actual path.

I will go ahead with filename sysfs-block-rssd and path
/sys/block/rssd*/<entry>.

Thanks.
