Hi Hans, Thanks for the update. Could you please rebase your patches onto recent linux-leds.git, for-next branch?
Done, I will send a v3 soon (today or tomorrow).
Also it would be convenient to have sample application for polling brightness changes in tools/leds.
I'm sorry but I do not have time to create such a sample application. Regards, Hans
Thanks, Jacek Anaszewski On 10/23/2016 09:46 PM, Hans de Goede wrote:Add support for userspace using poll() for POLL_PRI on the sysfs brightness attr to watch for brightness changes. This commit adds a led_notify_brightness_change helper function for waking up any poll() waiters; and calls this after any brightness changes (after any led_classdev->brightness_set[_blocking] calls have completed). In some use-cases led hardware may autonomously change its brightness, e.g. the keyboard backlight used on some laptops is controlled by a hardwired (firmware handled) hotkey. led_notify_brightness_change is exported for use by drivers which can detect such autonomous changes. This commit also updates the Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-led documentation to document that userspace may now poll on the brightness attribute.
