From: Nikita Yushchenko nikita.yoush@cogentembedded.com

[ Upstream commit ee19ac340c5fdfd89c6348be4563453c61ab54a9 ]

Currently, driver generates events for channels if new reading differs from previous one. This "previous value" is initialized to zero, which results into event if value is constant-one.

Fix that by initializing "previous value" by reading at event enable time.

This provides reliable sequence for userspace: - enable event, - AFTER THAT read current value, - AFTER THAT each event will correspond to change.
