As of now, seeking in sysfs files is handled by generic_file_llseek().
There are situations where one may want to customize seeking logic:
- Many sysfs entries are fixed files while generic_file_llseek() accepts
past-the-end positions. Not only being useless by itself, this
also means a bug in userspace code will trigger not at lseek(), but at
some later point making debugging harder.
- generic_file_llseek() relies on f_mapping->host to get the file size
which might not be correct for all sysfs entries.
