Subject: [RESEND][PATCH] pwm: Set class for exported channels in sysfs
Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2017 10:05:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1496397921-1713-1-git-send-email-gottfried.haider@gmail.com> (raw)
Notifications for devices without bus or class set get dropped by
dev_uevent_filter. Adding the class to the exported child matches
what the gpio subsystem is doing.
With this change exporting a channel triggers a udev event, which
gives userspace a chance to fixup permissions and makes it possible
for non-root users to make use of the pwm subsystem.
