I've just went through my inbox to make sure I didn't miss anything but, barring some undelivered email, the only thing you ever stated wrt this series (other than your general dislike of the BIT() macro) is this: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/1/27/202 four versions ago.
It's Linus Torvalds who stated he'll need an Ack from Al and I have Cc'ed him on multiple iterations over the course of several weeks after that. I assume he's got more important things on his plate but there's not much more I can do...
Feature creep is an exaggeration IMO for something that the very maintainer of configfs (Joel Becker) defined in detail in the documentation a long time ago. Most likely the need for committable items was clear from the start but as there were no users, no implementation ever followed. Now we've presented a very clear use-case hence the proposed implementation of the concept designed by Joel.
