#964: Null bytes appear in /sys/devices/platform/olpc-battery.0/ kernel interface
files
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  gnu     |       Owner:  marcelo  
     Type:  defect  |      Status:  new      
 Priority:  normal  |   Milestone:  Untriaged
Component:  kernel  |    Keywords:           
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 Reading many files such as /sys/devices/platform/olpc-
 battery.0/psu_0/capacity_percentage returns the expected value, a newline
 character, and then an unexpected NULL (0x0) character.

 {{{
 [olpc at localhost /]$ od -c /sys/class/battery/psu_0/capacity_percentage
 00000000   9   3  \n  \0
 00000004
 }}}

 (/sys/class/battery is a symlink to the above...)
