Title:
Force IIO_SENSOR_PROXY_TYPE to iio-buffer-als for some Dell models
Status in OEM Priority Project:
New
Status in iio-sensor-proxy package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
We are encountering issues, that when enabling some Dell laptops, the readings
from iio-poll-als are unstable, or could freeze on certain value. On these
systems they have ENV{IIO_SENSOR_PROXY_TYPE}="iio-poll-als iio-buffer-als",
and
removing iio-poll-als makes reading stable.
This adds workaround to the affected Dell laptop models which may equip with
ALS.
[Impact]
* Only models matching the same device BIOS IDs are affected.
[Test Plan]
* Pick devices which BIOS IDs are listed in the patch, and test
whether it's ambient light sensors are working properly without
unexpected brightness flickers.
[Where problems could occur]
* Machines matching the same BIOS ID, either having ALS built-in or
not, but attached ambient light sensors externally (for example,
ColorHug ALS) might experience failures.
[Other Info]
