[PATCH 00/11] ALS and other new functions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Matthew,

This is partially a resend of the previous patch-set (first 7  patches) plus
additional changes to queue up for 3.15.

The largest change is support for ALS on recent Vaios. The work is a respin of
what Javier Achirica and Marco Chiappero had done almost 3 years ago but ported
to IIO (Javier did that).
The downside is that when ALS control is enabled, changes to the backlight via
_BCM become notifications to SNC that should instead act. Unfortunately there
is no obvious way to get the brightness level that was requested. To workaround
that I have added a notification callback to the backlight driver. It seems a
generally useful mechanism and is definitely useful in this case.
The ALS patch has still some rough edges but it has been used by many people
for years now.
