The purpose of this function:							
SP7021 has three power states:S0, S1 and S3.							
S0:Default domain is on. IOP domain is on. AO domain is on.							
S1:Default domain is off. IOP domain is on. AO domain is on.							
S3:Default domain is off. IOP domain is off. AO domain is on.							
System enter S1 mode when read sysfs sp_iop_state1,							
							
I hope to provide users with the ability to enter S1 mode by themselves.							
So I cannot use DEVICE_ATTR. I should use file_operations method.

I type "echo 0 > mode". Device driver will load normal .bin for 8051 in sp_iop_mode_store().								
I type "echo 1 > mode". Device driver will load standby.bin for 8051 in sp_iop_mode_store().								
I type "cat mode". I can know whether the current bin code is normal or standby in 8051.								
								
I hope to provide users with the ability to switch bin files by themselves.								
So I need to use file_operations to achieve my goal.								
Not using DEVICE_ATTR.	Right?
