If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From fa34e6dd44d7c02c8a8468ce4a52a7506f907bef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gabriele Mazzotta <gabriele.mzt@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2016 16:21:39 +0100 Subject: iio: light: acpi-als: Report data as processed From: Gabriele Mazzotta <gabriele.mzt@xxxxxxxxx> commit fa34e6dd44d7c02c8a8468ce4a52a7506f907bef upstream. As per the ACPI specification (Revision 5.0) [1], the data coming from the sensor represent the ambient light illuminance reading expressed in lux. So use IIO_CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED to signify that the data are pre-processed. However, to keep backward ABI compatibility, the IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW bit is not removed. [1] http://www.acpi.info/DOWNLOADS/ACPIspec50.pdf This issue has also been responsible for at least one userspace bug report hence marking what is a small semantic fix really for stable.
