Thanks for your patch!

On Debian, where /bin/sh -> dash:

dev-needs.sh: 6: dev-needs.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

When using bash, I get:

# ./dev-needs.sh /sys/devices/platform/soc/feb00000.display
./dev-needs.sh: line 255: detail: command not found
./dev-needs.sh: line 255: detail: command not found
./dev-needs.sh: line 255: detail: command not found
./dev-needs.sh: line 255: detail: command not found

./dev-needs.sh: line 255: detail: command not found
./dev-needs.sh: line 255: detail: command not found
./dev-needs.sh: line 255: detail: command not found

Which shell should I use?
