Sebastian? Hi David, Alexey, I am in the process of reworking the patches. I'm not sure if Andrew was just interested in having the kstrimdup utility function available. Isn't it too late to impose userspace trimming of newlines for sysfs? It seems already fairly common and expected for the kernel to eat the trailing whitespace, or at least ignore it. If we change this won't we be breaking userspace / tools / instructions / etc? I'll try to post the new patches soon.
