misc: mic: Bug fix for sysfs poll usage.
MIC user space daemon poll's on sysfs changes. The documentation for sysfs_poll(...) in fs/sysfs/file.c states that "Once poll/select indicates that the value has changed, you need to close and re-open the file, or seek to 0 and read again". This step was missed out earlier and resulted in the daemon spinning continuously rather than getting blocked in 'poll'. This bug was exposed by commit aea585ef8fa65163 introduced as part of sysfs changes in 3.13-rc1. A seek to 0 has been introduced to fix it.
