Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for the patch, and sorry for the late review (so late that the patch 
has already been merged).

What's the rationale for that ? I would actually expect the value change 
events to be more useful for volatile controls than non-volatile controls. 
Volatile controls can have their value changed by the hardware without 
software intervention, and it makes sense to me to report that to userspace.
