[PATCH v2 0/1] Add a driver for the ChromeOS screen privacy sensor (HPS)

Posted by Sami Kyöstilä 4 years, 4 months ago

This series adds a driver for the ChromeOS screen privacy sensor
(a.k.a. HPS) device, attached on the I2C bus. The sensor is a
hardware-isolated module which reports a high-level presence signal,
e.g., whether there is person in front of the computer or not.

The driver exposes the device to userspace as a character device, which
can be used to control the power state of the device. The driver
automatically turns power off to the sensor unless a process is using
it.

More information about HPS, its firmware and communication protocol can
be found at
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/hps-firmware.

Changes in v2:
- Removed custom ioctl interface.
- Reworked to use miscdev.
