Well originally I was using an input device mechanism to report to user-space,
albeit using KEY_VOICECOMMAND, which Mark mentioned wasn't correct for this
scenario, which was fair enough. He also mentioned that there had been a general
push back on using input devices so that code was dropped. See thread below:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/10/347

uevent seemed like the simplest solution to report this event, and allow
user-space to act based on it. As mentioned before though, I am open to
suggestions if there's a better way.
