Some 360 degree hinges (yoga) style 2-in-1 devices use 2 KXCJ91008-s
to allow the OS to determine the angle between the display and the base
of the device, so that the OS can determine if the 2-in-1 is in laptop
or in tablet-mode.

On Windows both accelerometers are read by a special HingeAngleService
process; and this process calls a DSM (Device Specific Method) on the
ACPI KIOX010A device node for the sensor in the display, to let the
embedded-controller (EC) know about the mode so that it can disable the
kbd and touchpad to avoid spurious input while folded into tablet-mode.

Currently the kxcjk1013 driver calls the DSM for this once at probe time
to ensure that the builtin kbd and touchpad work.

But some users have expressed interest in using this functionality to
disable the kbd and touchpad when folded into tablet-mode as done under
Windows.

Add a tablet_mode sysfs file so that users can control the kbd/touchpad
enable/disable functionality from user-space.

A nit. With temporary variable it may be slightly better to read, like:

  int value;
  ...
  value = tablet_mode ? KIOX010A_SET_TABLET_MODE : KIOX010A_SET_LAPTOP_MODE);
  err = kiox010a_dsm(&data->client->dev, value);

devm is a beast (sometimes). Just to make sure that on removal you
won't have situation when attribute is still there while data it's
accessing to are already gone or garbage.

I'm fine with either solution, Jonathan let me know if you want a v2 with
Andy's suggestion implemented (assuming you are willing to take this at all).

The main data struct is also devm managed and allocated earlier, so this is not an issue
here.

Biggest thing missing here is documentation.

Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio-kxcjk1013

Unless this is documented somewhere else?  I've no idea if there is any
precedence for this/

Prefer Andy's suggestion slightly seeing as you are going around again to
include some docs :)

Erm, as I explained in the cover letter this new sysfs attribute sits below

/sys/bus/i2c/devices/KIOX010A:00/

So thew new file is:

/sys/bus/i2c/devices/KIOX010A:00/tablet_mode

IOW it does NOT sit below:

/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio-device1

I did this deliberately so that it is in no way part of the IIO userspace-API
(where it does not belong).

I did have it as part of the IIO userspace API before, that is one of
the reasons why I wrote the:
"iio: core: Copy iio_info.attrs->is_visible into iio_dev_opaque.chan_attr_group.is_visible"

Patch so that I could only make it show up in the KIOX010A case without needing
to duplicate the structures describing the IIO channels. But just not putting
it in the IIO "namespace" at all seemed cleaner, so I eventually went with
that as solution.  And I still believe that having this under the i2c-device
rather then under the iio-device is the right thing to do, but I'm open to
changing that.

I guess I could still try to document it somewhere, but with the scheme
which I chose there really isn't a vert good place to document this...

There is plenty of precedence for adhoc driver specific sysfs attributes
being added to the (parent) device, but these tend to not be documented
(which I must admit is kinda bad).

Ok, I'll change this for v2 once we have the other bits figured out.

Definitely need docs, even if you need to create a new place to put it.
Probably need to cc the i2c list as well given it's ABI directly under
the I2C device. Possibly best to also cc linux-abi as this one is a bit
unusual.

ABI/test/sysfs-bus-i2c-devices-kxcjk1013 is probably the right place.
There is some precedent in similar files + they deliberately avoid
being too specific on the naming of the path.

Absolutely.  I suspect and hope things are getting stricter on that
front than they have been in the past. Certainly Greg KH has been
pointing out when people try to sneak in undocumented ABI.

I guess long term, we should do a cleanup exercise to try and document
as many of those non standard bits of ABI as possible.  This is particularly
true as the ABI docs are now part of the nice pretty printed HTML docs.
(or will be very soon anyway given I'm not sure Mauro's work has landed
yet!)
