Hans de Goede 0cb8eb30d4 leds: class: Add new optional brightness_hw_changed attribute
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.

What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/brightness
Date: March 2006
KernelVersion: 2.6.17
Contact: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
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.
Writing 0 to this file clears active trigger.
Writing non-zero to this file while trigger is active changes the
top brightness trigger is going to use.
What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/max_brightness
Date: March 2006
KernelVersion: 2.6.17
Contact: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
Description:
Maximum brightness level for this LED, default is 255 (LED_FULL).
If the LED does not support different brightness levels, this
should be 1.
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. Reading this file when no hw brightness change
event has happened will return an ENODATA error.
What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/trigger
Date: March 2006
KernelVersion: 2.6.17
Contact: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
Description:
Set the trigger for this LED. A trigger is a kernel based source
of LED events.
You can change triggers in a similar manner to the way an IO
scheduler is chosen. Trigger specific parameters can appear in
/sys/class/leds/<led> once a given trigger is selected. For
their documentation see sysfs-class-led-trigger-*.
What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/inverted
Date: January 2011
KernelVersion: 2.6.38
Contact: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
Description:
Invert the LED on/off state. This parameter is specific to
gpio and backlight triggers. In case of the backlight trigger,
it is useful when driving a LED which is intended to indicate
a device in a standby like state.
