Ah, indeed... so we cannot use value of '0' for magic (e.g. to clear any
existing value for normal reboot)?

I don't get your answer.
As fair as I read the code, the prop->name can be very long and you are
copying it from 5 character. If the name of the mode has bazillion
characters then again my question: how do you protect that it will fit
in 32 bytes of 'mode'?

You need to export symbols which are located in modules. Is it located
in module?
