One can always use sysfs_notify(). Not sure I understand what is clunky about it.
gpio-fan uses it, and I have used it as well in an internal driver. Works pretty well.
I thought that is what was meant with "poll" [ie poll (2)], and somehow considered
to not be good enough. Would be nice to know the reasons, though, and how iio does
better than that. Maybe I need to spend some time reading the iio documentation.
