yes as when when support for additional tests are added

The testname would be inferred based the sysfs file context (the<N> in /sys/devices/virtual/misc/intel_ifs_<N>/current_batch) from which the operation is triggered.

Meaning if the user writes to /sys/devices/virtual/misc/intel_ifs_0/current_batch it would look for ff-mm-ss.scan and if they write to
/sys/devices/virtual/misc/intel_ifs_2/current_batch it would look for ff-mm-ss.<test_type_2>
