It would have been lovely to see what the problem was, but the commit
doesn't actually explain that.
I suspect it's this
https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/7/26/581
but there might have been more.

Hi Linus,
Bodo explained to me via a private email that the historic behavior is
the behavior he needs for a patch that he is still working on. I'm not
aware of any existing user space software that relies on the historic
(non-POSIX) behavior of configfs writes.
Bart.

Yes. I hope I was able to describe the changed behavior sufficiently in
that mail.
Thank you,
Bodo
