Re: [PATCH v2] iio: hid-sensor-prox: Split difference from multiple channels

Hello,

that LISS sensor was from a patch that I had introduced. It's not
connected officially to Lenovo.

It's a HPD HID sensor on the Lenovo Yoga 9 14IAP7 that exports binary
values on the human presence HID usage that is monitored by
hid-sensor-prox.

I had tried to get it working with iio-sensor-proxy to expose it over
dbus and use it in e.g. a GNOME shell extension to lock the screen when
there is no human presence detected. But my MRs were never merged and
due to private struggles I lost interest in pushing them further.

Regards,
Philipp Jungkamp
