Subject: [RFC PATCH 04/14] iio/light: add new driver for macsmc
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 04:52:01 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029085504.3547-5-atharvatiwarilinuxdev@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029085504.3547-1-atharvatiwarilinuxdev@gmail.com>
Add a driver for the ambient light sensors, exposed through
the standard IIO interface with left and right channels.
This replaces the light sensor support in applesmc.
Signed-off-by: Atharva Tiwari <atharvatiwarilinuxdev@gmail.com>
