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.
