[PATCH] acpi/ec: Deny write access unless requested by module param

From: green
Date: Sat Feb 06 2016 - 02:08:50 EST


From: Oleg Drokin <green@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In debugfs it's not enough to just set file mode to read-only to
deny write access to a file, instead just don't provide
the write method unless write access is really requested.

I assume allowing run-time changes via /sys/module is preferrable,
opposed to forced module unload and reload to change this option,
but I can submit another patch to only depend on the module parameter
too, please let me know.
