A decision on what to favour would certainly help: sysfs or ioctl or something else.
While i have missed that in this particular case¹) you apparently shall read via sysfs and write via ioctl -- i thought that most could already be written via sysfs which doesn't seem to be true -- it would be nice to get rid of the devilish ioctl mid-term iff there is consensus about it. The bridge is admittedly a vicarious corner case and probably seldomly used anyway.
