Hi Yishenng,

Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> submitted a patch to
replace the whole bch_read_string_list() with __sysfs_match_string().
And this patch is applied in Jens' block tree, will go into mainline
kernel in v4.18.

If you search bcache mailing list, you may find a patch named with
"bcache: Replace bch_read_string_list() by __sysfs_match_string()".

That means this patch will conflict with existing changes.

Thanks.
