rfkill events from kernel space

rfkill events from kernel space

[Pavan Savoy]

How do I send an rfkill event upon device /dev/rfkill from kernel space ?

An action upon my driver, should break the poll on /dev/rfkill from a user-space daemon, but sending an OP_CHANGE event.

As I've seen only writing blocked/non-blocked on the sysfs entry of an rfkill device generates an rfkill event.

Please ignore the above message, if you haven't already.
set_sw_state or set_hw_state should have called set_events.
