A common pattern for using plain DEVICE_ATTR() instead of
DEVICE_ATTR_RO() and DEVICE_ATTR_RW() is for attributes that want to
limit read to only root. I.e. many users of DEVICE_ATTR() are
specifying 0400 or 0600 for permissions.
Given the expectation that CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to access these
sensitive attributes and an explicit helper with the _ADMIN_ identifier
for DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_{RO,RW}.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
