Subject: [PATCH] doc: ABI: sysfs-class-backlight: update outdated HAL userspace reference
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 18:52:53 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721132253.256422-1-shivanksharma2376543@gmail.com> (raw)
HAL was deprecated around 2009 and is
no longer used on modern Linux distributions. Update the 'Users:' field
in the sysfs-class-backlight ABI documentation to reflect modern
systemd-logind, udev, general userspace.
