Resending again, as Google servers are behaving weird lately.

The need we have in the user application is for read-only access.Â

I have attached the same old patch with just the minor file attribute change,
which would make the sysfs interface to read-only. If in future, there are good
reasons to expose that interface as read/write, updating that attribute can be
revisited.

Can this now be included in your tree ? This minor patch may be helpful to many
Ideapad users with a Hybrid machine.


PS: Given how minimal the change is, I just hand updated the patch. If you want
it in the proper git send-email flow, please let me know.

Subject: [PATCH v4] platform/x86: ideapad-laptop: Add sysfs interface for touchpad state

Lenovo Yoga (many variants: Yoga, Yoga2 Pro, Yoga2 13, Yoga3 Pro, Yoga 3
14 etc) has multiple modles that are a hybrid laptop, working in laptop
mode as well as tablet mode.

Currently, there is no easy interface to determine the touchpad status,
which in case of the Yoga family of machines, can also be useful to
assume tablet mode status.
Note: The ideapad-laptop driver does not provide a SW_TABLET_MODE either

For a detailed discussion on why we want either of the interfaces,
please see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/onboard/+bug/1366421/comments/43

This patch adds a sysfs interface for read access under:
/sys/bus/platform/devices/VPC2004\:00/touchpad

v5:
Set file attribute to read-only

v4:
Use kstrtobool because supported values are boolean

v3:
Include Darren Hart's comments
Changed sysfs inteface from "touchpad_mode" to "touchpad"

v2:
Include Andy Shevchenko's comments
