Hi Hans,
Thanks for the update.
Could you please rebase your patches onto recent linux-leds.git,
for-next branch?
Also it would be convenient to have sample application for polling
brightness changes in tools/leds.
Thanks,
Jacek Anaszewski

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.

Changes in v2:
-Wakeup / notify userspace on any brightness changes, not just on
autonomous changes done by the hw

Description:
Set the brightness of the LED. Most LEDs don't
have hardware brightness support so will just be turned on for
non-zero brightness settings. The value is between 0 and
/sys/class/leds/<led>/max_brightness.
+ The file supports poll() to detect brightness changes, in
+ some cases the hardware / firmware may change the brightness
+ autonomously, poll() should be woken up in this case too,
+ but not all drivers may support this.
