+ * led_hw_brightness_mon.c
+ *
+ * This program monitors LED brightness level changes having its origin
+ * in hardware/firmware, i.e. outside of kernel control.
+ * A timestamp and brightness value is printed each time the brightness changes.
+ *
+ * Usage: led_hw_brightness_mon <device-name>
+ *
+ * <device-name> is the name of the LED class device to be monitored. Pressing
+ * CTRL+C will exit.
