Hi, Pavel, the current illuminance is not equal to the specified values in the mappings in most case. the ALS driver don't have enough knowledge to get a proper display adjustment, especially that a proper display adjustment would be easy to select a proper brightness level. So I think we'd better leave this to user space, which is more flexible. that's why I still export the mapping info to userspace in this patch. what do you think? thanks, rui On Wed, 2009-08-19 at 16:40 +0800, Zhang, Rui wrote: > Introduce ALS sysfs class device. > > ALS sysfs class device provides a standard sysfs interface > for Ambient Light Sensor devices. > > please read Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-als for detailed sysfs > designs. > > Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> > --- > Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-als | 137 ++++++++++++++++ > drivers/Kconfig | 2 > drivers/Makefile | 1 > drivers/als/Kconfig | 10 + > drivers/als/Makefile | 5 > drivers/als/als_sys.c | 256 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > include/linux/als_sys.h | 57 ++++++ > 7 files changed, 468 insertions(+) > > Index: linux-2.6/drivers/Kconfig > =================================================================== > --- linux-2.6.orig/drivers/Kconfig > +++ linux-2.6/drivers/Kconfig > @@ -62,6 +62,8 @@ source "drivers/power/Kconfig" > > source "drivers/hwmon/Kconfig" > > +source "drivers/als/Kconfig" > + > source "drivers/thermal/Kconfig" > > source "drivers/watchdog/Kconfig" > Index: linux-2.6/drivers/Makefile > =================================================================== > --- linux-2.6.orig/drivers/Makefile > +++ linux-2.6/drivers/Makefile > @@ -76,6 +76,7 @@ obj-$(CONFIG_PPS) += pps/ > obj-$(CONFIG_W1) += w1/ > obj-$(CONFIG_POWER_SUPPLY) += power/ > obj-$(CONFIG_HWMON) += hwmon/ > +obj-$(CONFIG_ALS) += als/ > obj-$(CONFIG_THERMAL) += thermal/ > obj-$(CONFIG_WATCHDOG) += watchdog/ > obj-$(CONFIG_PHONE) += telephony/ > Index: linux-2.6/drivers/als/Kconfig > =================================================================== > --- /dev/null > +++ linux-2.6/drivers/als/Kconfig > @@ -0,0 +1,10 @@ > +# > +# Ambient Light Sensor sysfs device configuration > +# > + > +menuconfig ALS > + tristate "Ambient Light Sensor sysfs device" > + help > + This framework provides a generic sysfs interface for > + Ambient Light Sensor devices. > + If you want this support, you should say Y or M here. > Index: linux-2.6/drivers/als/Makefile > =================================================================== > --- /dev/null > +++ linux-2.6/drivers/als/Makefile > @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ > +# > +# Makefile for sensor chip drivers. > +# > + > +obj-$(CONFIG_ALS) += als_sys.o > Index: linux-2.6/drivers/als/als_sys.c > =================================================================== > --- /dev/null > +++ linux-2.6/drivers/als/als_sys.c > @@ -0,0 +1,256 @@ > +/* > + * als_sys.c - Ambient Light Sensor Sysfs support. > + * > + * Copyright (C) 2009 Intel Corp > + * Copyright (C) 2009 Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> > + * > + * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > + * > + * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify > + * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by > + * the Free Software Foundation; version 2 of the License. > + * > + * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but > + * WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of > + * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Introduction + +The generic Ambient Light Sensor sysfs provides a standard interface for ALS devices. + +User space can use this interface to get the status of the ambient light environment +the system is currently in, and get the ambient light illuminance to display luminance +mappings to calibrate its ambient light policy for a given sensor configuration. + +An intelligent ALS application can make ambient light decisions based on inputs +from these ALS attributes and adjust the LVDS brightness levels. + +[0-N] denotes any positive number starting from 0 to N + +Two acronyms that used in this HOW TO only: +ALI ambient light illuminace +DLA display luminance adjustment (or display brightness adjustment) + +1.
