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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
