eekeekeek!  sysfs_notify() does mutex_lock() and will die horridly if
called from an interrupt handler.

You should have got a storm of warnings when runtime testing this code.
Please ensure that all debug options are enabled when testing code. 
Documentation/SubmitChecklist has help.

<panics>

oh, sysfs_lock is a gpiolib-local thing, not a sysfs-core thing. 
Crappy name.
