Code review that is agnostic as to the need for this at all, I figured
might as well as this needs work even if everyone agrees that the
function/feature is needed:

You list the same thing twice on one line?

You are exporting these values to userspace, so you need to specify
exactly what these enums resolve to, AND put them in a userspace visable
.h file so that they can be checked/read/understood.

prefix of the subsystem first please:
mktme_get_status

Or, better yet, why not just export the variable directly? Why is this
a function at all?

name of the module, should you enable this, etc...

these sentances are not needed if you have the SPDX line above, so

No need to check, just define the thing, BEFORE the #include lines.

static?

Why a define?

Why check this if you are using simple_read_from_buffer()? Shouldn't
that handle this type of check for you correctly? As it is, I don't
think you are doing this right anyway.

Don't make up random error numbers, use the EWHATEVER defines please.

If code works properly, it should be quiet, do not do this. Would you
want to see your kernel log full of this for every individual virtual
file that was created?

"bioswe", what is that?

And this isn't sysfs.

Did anyone actually review this?

Again, random return values, please do not.

Is this really a driver?

Also no Documentation/ABI/ update for your new userspace api that you
just created?
