I object to this statement on principle: "I believe only a single source will be strictly necessary, but the more the better, because some will work better than others." More interfaces are most definitely *not* better :-) Ideally we would have a single method for convertibles to indicate their state to userspace for it to take action based on user(space)-defined policy. Obviously we don't want GNOME, KDE, XFCE, X, Wayland, DBUS, etc. etc. all having to check different sys files for every known laptop all using different names, formats, and values. That said, we need to make these systems usable, and as there appears not to be an accepted standard way of doing this, I don't object to the approach. However, you mentioned in the bug comments (#64) on 2/12: "I have attached the final patch that I had proposed, but for whatever reasons, the maintainer isn't convinced that that interface is needed." This is the only version of this patch I have seen. Who objected to the patch? I would like to hear from Rafael and Dmitry, for their opinion on an ACPI or INPUT interface for indicating TABLET_MODE to userspace. Even if we accept this patch as is, we should be thinking about how to do this in a standard way. > > This patch adds a sysfs interface for read/write access under: > /sys/bus/platform/devices/VPC2004\:00/touchpad_mode > > Signed-off-by: Ritesh Raj Sarraf <rrs@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > .../ABI/testing/sysfs-platform-ideapad-laptop | 9 ++++++ > drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.c | 33 ++++++++++++++++++++++ > 2 files changed, 42 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-platform-ideapad-laptop b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-platform-ideapad-laptop > index b31e782bd985..401e37e5acbd 100644 > --- a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-platform-ideapad-laptop > +++ b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-platform-ideapad-laptop > @@ -17,3 +17,12 @@ Description: > * 2 -> Dust Cleaning > * 4 -> Efficient Thermal Dissipation Mode > > +What: /sys/devices/platform/ideapad/touchpad_mode > +Date: Jan 2017 > +KernelVersion: 4.11 > +Contact: "Ritesh Raj Sarraf <rrs@xxxxxxxxxx>" > +Description: > + Control touchpad mode. > + * 1 -> Switched On > + * 0 -> Switched Off Please use consistent whitespace for indentation, in this case, use tabs for the above two lines. > + > diff --git a/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.c b/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.c > index f46ece2ce3c4..639af45b45b6 100644 > --- a/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.c > +++ b/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.c > @@ -423,9 +423,42 @@ static ssize_t store_ideapad_fan(struct device *dev, > > static DEVICE_ATTR(fan_mode, 0644, show_ideapad_fan, store_ideapad_fan); > > + > +static ssize_t show_touchpad_mode(struct device *dev, > + struct device_attribute *attr, > + char *buf) > +{ > + unsigned long result; > + struct ideapad_private *priv = dev_get_drvdata(dev); For consistency of coding style, please list longest variable declarations first, and proceed in decreasing line length.
