Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

There are certain touch controllers that may come up in either normal (application) or boot mode, depending on whether firmware/configuration is corrupted when they are powered on. In boot mode the kernel does not create input device instance (because it does not necessarily know the characteristics of the input device in question). Another number of controllers does not store firmware in a non-volatile memory, and they similarly need to have firmware loaded before input device instance is created. There are also other types of devices with similar behavior. There is a desire to be able to trigger firmware loading via udev, but it has to happen only when driver is bound to a physical device (i2c or spi). These udev actions can not use ADD events, as those happen too early, so we are introducing BIND and UNBIND events that are emitted at the right moment. Also, many drivers create additional driver-specific device attributes when binding to the device, to provide userspace with additional controls. The new events allow userspace to adjust these driver-specific attributes without worrying that they are not there yet.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
