           Summary: Parse error in ash when redirecting value to sysfs
           Product: Busybox
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5

When echoing a value and redirecting it to a file under sysfs, ash just prints
an empty line but does not store the value. This only happens when ">"
character is typed right after the command.

For example, this works:
# echo 250 > /sys/class/backlight/pwm-backlight.0/brightness
# cat /sys/class/backlight/pwm-backlight.0/brightness
250

But this does not:
# echo 128> /sys/class/backlight/pwm-backlight.0/brightness

# cat /sys/class/backlight/pwm-backlight.0/brightness
250

Redirecting in similar way to a normal file works:
# echo hello> /tmp/world
# cat /tmp/world
hello
