+/*
+ * Currently tested and works on:
+ *	Lenovo IdeaPad Y550
+ *	Lenovo IdeaPad Y550P
+ *
+ * Other models can be added easily. To test,
+ * load with 'force' parameter set 'true'.
+ *
+ * LEDs blinking and input mode are managed via sysfs,
+ * (hex, unsigned byte value):
+ * /sys/devices/platform/ideapad_slidebar/slidebar_mode
+ *
+ * The value is in byte range, however, I only figured out
+ * how bits 0b10011001 work. Some other bits, probably,
+ * are meaningfull too.
+ *
+ * Possible states:
+ *
+ * STD_INT, ONMOV_INT, OFF_INT, LAST_POLL, OFF_POLL
+ *
+ * Meaning:
+ *           released      touched
+ * STD       'heartbeat'   lights follow the finger
+ * ONMOV     no lights     lights follow the finger
+ * LAST      at last pos   lights follow the finger
+ * OFF       no lights     no lights
+ *
+ * INT       all input events are generated, interrupts are used
+ * POLL      no input events by default, to get them,
+ *	     send 0b10000000 (read below)
+ *
+ * Commands: write
+ *
+ * All      |  0b01001 -> STD_INT
+ * possible |  0b10001 -> ONMOV_INT
+ * states   |  0b01000 -> OFF_INT
+ *
+ *                      |  0b0 -> LAST_POLL
+ * STD_INT or ONMOV_INT |
+ *                      |  0b1 -> STD_INT
+ *
+ *                      |  0b0 -> OFF_POLL
+ * OFF_INT or OFF_POLL  |
+ *                      |  0b1 -> OFF_INT
+ *
+ * Any state |   0b10000000 ->  if the slidebar has updated data,
+ *				produce one input event (last position),
+ *				switch to respective POLL mode
+ *				(like 0x0), if not in POLL mode yet.
+ *
+ * Get current state: read
+ *
+ * masked by 0x11 read value means:
+ *
+ * 0x00   LAST
+ * 0x01   STD
+ * 0x10   OFF
+ * 0x11   ONMOV
