As with the other patch, please move your motivation into the commit
message of the patch.

That said, this seems to be 3 different topics, and hence should be
three different patches.

The name of the node does not seem to have any significance; this could
be nice to mention. I also think it would set a good precedence if you
used the number of the qcom-curr-link-list in the node name, rather than
just an iterator...

Who is locked out from this restricted access? Please mention why this
is a good thing.

Please mention why hwtrigger needs to be disabled, and why does it need
to be disabled?

Please follow the standard practice of giving your first version of a
patch version 1.
