Btw, I've been working on an improvement for scripts/get_abi.pl, in order
to allow it to check for missing API documentation:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1631112725.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org/
It basically reads everything under /sys and at Documentation/ABI,
and checks if something was found at sysfs but there's no
documentation for it. It allows to optionally search for an specific
string (actually, it uses regex):
$ ./scripts/get_abi.pl undefined --search-string devices.*cpulistaffinity
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/pci_bus/0000:01/cpulistaffinity not found.
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.1/pci_bus/0000:02/cpulistaffinity not found.
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.2/pci_bus/0000:03/cpulistaffinity not found.
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.0/pci_bus/0000:04/cpulistaffinity not found.
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/pci_bus/0000:05/cpulistaffinity not found.
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.2/pci_bus/0000:06/cpulistaffinity not found.
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/pci_bus/0000:07/cpulistaffinity not found.
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/pci_bus/0000:72/cpulistaffinity not found.
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.4/pci_bus/0000:73/cpulistaffinity not found.
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/pci_bus/0000:00/cpulistaffinity not found.
While it won't check the quality of the ABI, it would let someone to
at least double check if a driver is not exposing something undocumented
via sysfs.
If someone wants to test, the newest version is at:

Thanks,
