<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">setBrightness gets called</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">it writes to sysfs file using backlight helper</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">kernel sends uevent for brightness change</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">onDeviceChanged is triggered</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">we update cache value</li>
</ul>
<p>However in case of leds subsystem, kernel doesn't send uevent for<br />
brightness change, hence uevent is never triggered and this doesn't<br />
update cached value of brightness, resulting in DBus signal for<br />
brightnessChanged never being emitted.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>TEST PLAN</strong><div><p>Tested on Nexus 5 which uses leds subsystem</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>rPOWERDEVIL Powerdevil</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>BRANCH</strong><div><div>workaround-broken-backlight-driver (branched from master)</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D2470" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D2470</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>AFFECTED FILES</strong><div><div>daemon/backends/upower/powerdevilupowerbackend.cpp<br />
