+Ambient Light Sensor Sysfs driver How To
+=========================
+
+Written by Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@xxxxxxxxx>
+
+Updated: 6 August 2009
+
+Copyright (c) 2009 Intel Corporation
+
+0. Introduction
+
+The generic Ambient Light Sensor sysfs provides a standard interface for ALS devices.
+
+User space can use this interface to get the status of the ambient light environment
+the system is currently in, and get the ambient light illuminance to display luminance
+mappings to calibrate its ambient light policy for a given sensor configuration.
+
+An intelligent ALS application can make ambient light decisions based on inputs
+from these ALS attributes and adjust the LVDS brightness levels.
+
+[0-N] denotes any positive number starting from 0 to N
+
+Two acronyms that used in this HOW TO only:
+ALI ambient light illuminace
+DLA display luminance adjustment (or display brightness adjustment)
+
+1. Ambient Light Sensor sysfs driver interface functions
+
+1.1 struct als_device *als_device_register(struct als_device_ops *ops, char *desc, void *devdata)
+
+ This interface function adds a new ALS device to
+ /sys/class/als folder as als[0-*].
+
+ ops: thermal zone device call-backs.
+ .get_illuminance: get the current ALI.
+ .get_mappings_count: get the number of ALI to DLA mappings.
+ .get_mapping_info: get the info of a specified ALI to DLA mapping.
+ desc: a description of the ALS device.
+ devdata:device private data
+
+1.2 void als_device_unregister(struct als_device *als)
+
+ This interface function removes the ALS device.
+ It deletes the corresponding entry form /sys/class/als folder.
+
+1.3 int als_device_update_mappings(struct als_device *als)
+
+ This interface updates the ALI to DLA mappings.
+ This is usually invoked by the native ALS driver when it detects a mapping change.
+
+2. sysfs attributes structure
+
+RO read only value
+RW read/write value
+
+ALS sysfs attributes will be represented under /sys/class/als.
+
+/sys/class/als/als[0-*]:
+ |-----desc: Strings which describes the ALS device
+ |-----illuminance: Current ALI
+ |-----mapping[0-*]:
+ |-----illuminance: ALI threshold when an DLA is needed
+ |-----adjustment: how to do the DLA when the threshold is hit
+
+***********************************
+* Ambient Light Sendor attributes *
+***********************************
+
+desc Strings which descibes the current ALS.
+ This is given by native ALS driver as part of registration.
+ e.g: "acpi_als" for ACPI ALS devices.
+ RO
+ Required
+
+illuminance Current ALI reported by native ALS driver
+ Unit: lux (lumens per square meter)
+ RO
+ Required
+
+mapping[0-*] represent one item of the ALI to DLA mappings.
+
+mapping[0-*]/illuminance ALI threshold when an DLA is needed
+ RO
+
+mapping[0-*]/adjustment a relative percentages in order simplify the means
+ by which these adjustments are applied in lieu of
+ changes to the user’s display brightness preference.
+ A value of 100 is used to indicate no (0%) display
+ brightness adjustment.
+ Values less than 100 indicate a negative adjustment
+ (dimming); values greater than 100 indicate a positive
+ adjustment (brightening).
+ RO
+
+3. How to implement ALS control in user space
+
+To implement the ALS control, including both ALI detection and Backlight
+adjustment, interactions between backlight driver and als driver are needed.
+It's ugly to implement such a driver in Linux kernel.
+A user space application is preferred in this case.
+
+Below is a simple example of how to do ALS management in user space.
+
+This is the ACPI backlight sysfs I/F
+/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0:
+ |-----brightness 6
+ |-----actual_brightness 6
+ |-----max_brightness 10
+
+And this is the ACPI ALS sysfs I/F
+/sys/class/als/als0:
+ |-----illuminance 500
+ |-----mapping[0]
+ |-----illuminance 0
+ |-----adjustment 50
+ |-----mapping[1]
+ |-----illuminance 200
+ |-----adjustment 70
+ |-----mapping[2]
+ |-----illuminance 600
+ |-----adjustment 100
+ |-----mapping[3]
+ |-----illuminance 900
+ |-----adjustment 125
+ |-----mapping[4]
+ |-----illuminance 1200
+ |-----adjustment 150
+
+If user thinks that brightness level 6 is good enough for him when ALI is 600,
+he can set brightness 6 as the user’s display brightness preference.
+When user goes to the basement with the laptop and the ALI changes to 200,
+the ALS application knows that it should do a -25% display brightness
+adjustment, i.e. changes the backlight to 4.
+And when the laptop is used outdoors, where the ALI reaches 1200,
+the ALS application should do a +50% adjustment,
+i.e. run "echo 9 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness".
