376The sysfs directory structure and the attributes in each directory define an
377ABI between the kernel and user space. As for any ABI, it is important that
378this ABI is stable and properly documented. All new sysfs attributes must be
379documented in Documentation/ABI. See also Documentation/ABI/README for more
380information.
