4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nikita Yushchenko <nikita.yoush@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ee19ac340c5fdfd89c6348be4563453c61ab54a9 ] Currently, driver generates events for channels if new reading differs from previous one. This "previous value" is initialized to zero, which results into event if value is constant-one. Fix that by initializing "previous value" by reading at event enable time. This provides reliable sequence for userspace: - enable event, - AFTER THAT read current value, - AFTER THAT each event will correspond to change.
