Shouldn't this be something that other drivers select?  How will anyone
know if they need this or not?

You really mean "any later version" (I have to ask)?

Are these two paragraphs needed?  This isn't a "program", and they got a
copy of the GPL already with the kernel.

When modifying/adding new sysfs stuff, you need a Documentation/ABI/
