Some LEDs may have their brightness level changed autonomously
(outside of kernel control) by hardware / firmware. This commit
adds support for an optional brightness_hw_changed attribute to
signal such changes to userspace (if a driver can detect them):
What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/brightness_hw_changed
Date: January 2017
KernelVersion: 4.11
Description:
Last hardware set brightness level for this LED. Some LEDs
may be changed autonomously by hardware/firmware. Only LEDs
where this happens and the driver can detect this, will
have this file.
This file supports poll() to detect when the hardware
changes the brightness.
Reading this file will return the last brightness level set
by the hardware, this may be different from the current
brightness.
Drivers which want to support this, simply add LED_BRIGHT_HW_CHANGED to
their flags field and call led_classdev_notify_brightness_hw_changed()
with the hardware set brightness when they detect a hardware / firmware
triggered brightness change.

Changes in v6:
-New patch in v6 of this set, replacing previous trigger based API
Changes in v7
-Return -ENODATA when brightness_hw_changed gets read before any
hw brightness change event as happened
-Make the hw_brightness_changed attr presence configurable through Kconfig
Changes in v8
-Add WARN_ON in case a driver calls led_classdev_notify_brightness_hw_changed
without setting the LED_BRIGHT_HW_CHANGED flag
-Document the need for LED_BRIGHT_HW_CHANGED in

+LED registration API
+====================
+
+A driver wanting to register a LED classdev for use by other drivers /
+userspace needs to allocate and fill a led_classdev struct and then call
+[devm_]led_classdev_register. If the non devm version is used the driver
+must call led_classdev_unregister from its remove function before
+free-ing the led_classdev struct.
+
+If the driver can detect hardware initiated brightness changes and thus
+wants to have a brightness_hw_changed attribute then the LED_BRIGHT_HW_CHANGED
+flag must be set in flags before registering. Calling
+led_classdev_notify_brightness_hw_changed on a classdev not registered with
+the LED_BRIGHT_HW_CHANGED flag is a bug and will trigger a WARN_ON.
