I couldn't find any usage of the sysfs interface. The only thing I see
used is the host_name field when the module is inserted, if that even
happens at all (I'm not sure because it's behind some ifdef that may or
may not be defined). Sorry this doesn't explain why there are two
different interfaces for the VDD stuff. Hopefully Alex or Konstantin can
help.
