Gah. Missed that in review.

It's tricky to do because there is no simple association between what is registered as channels and the resulting attribute. We could probably make it work, but not a simple thing to do. > > One aproach would be to detect the usable channels in als_parse_report() > and then adapt the indio_dev->channels based on that information. > > [0] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218223 Agreed that adapting the channels is the way to go. Easiest option probably to set the relevant masks to 0 if the chromacity and temp channels aren't there + set their scan index values to -1. That 'should' suppress any attributes being created. Having a gap in scan indexes is common anyway so any userspace should cope with the timestamp being after a gap. Alternatives would be to rebuild the chan_spec array to not have the entries, or pass in and fill in two copies of the array, picking the relevant one only on discovering if the temp and chromacity channels are present.
