+ * led_hw_brightness_mon.c

+ * This program monitors LED brightness level changes having its origin

+ * 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.
