As noted elsewhere, human-readable files go into debugfs.

sysfs rule is one file, one value.

Create a file ile named "irq_wakeup_enable" that works
like this:

cat wakeup_enable
0
echo 1 > wakeup_enable
cat wakeup_enable
1

Also document you new ABI in
Documentation/ABI/testing/*
and preferabley write some new words on it
in Documentation/gpio.txt too.

Thanks!
