Hi,

I am using Kernel: 4.9.217 for one of the ARM32 boards for Qualcomm SOC.
https://github.com/android-linux-stable/msm-4.9

But I think this is a general bug applicable to :Kernel 4.9 under
fs/sysfs/file.c
So, I wanted to quickly check here if others are familiar with this
issue and if it is fixed already.
Note, this issue does not occur in 4.14 Kernel.

When I execute below command, the Kernel is crashing.
I tried to add few debug prints to find more details. I see that the
ops->show pointer is not valid (seems corrupted).
So I wanted to understand how this can happen only for this particular node.
Other sysfs entries are working fine.
