<title>backlight: pwm_bl: Fix GPIO out for unimplemented .get_direction()</title>

Commit 7613c922315e308a ("backlight: pwm_bl: Move the checks for initial
power state to a separate function") not just moved some code, but made
slight changes in semantics.

If a gpiochip doesn't implement the optional .get_direction() callback,
gpiod_get_direction always returns -EINVAL, which is never equal to
GPIOF_DIR_IN, leading to the GPIO not being configured for output.

To avoid this, invert the test and check for not GPIOF_DIR_OUT instead,
like the original code did.

This restores the display on r8a7740/armadillo.

Fixes: 7613c922315e308a ("backlight: pwm_bl: Move the checks for initial power state to a separate function")

<title>backlight: da9052: Fix module autoload</title>

<id>bb82250fc45631bcac52af22328cb7c4dda3b763</id>
<content type='text'>
The driver has a platform device ID table with multiple device entries,
each setting a different register address in its driver_data to control
the WLED brightness.

But the driver doesn't export these as aliases with MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()
when the driver is built as a module, instead it just has a single alias
using MODULE_ALIAS("platform:da9052-backlight"). That is clearly wrong
since there isn't a "da9052-backlight" in the platform device ID table,
so if that device name is used, the device won't even match the driver.

So instead of having a wrong alias, export the ones in the dev ID table.

Before this patch:

$ modinfo drivers/video/backlight/da9052_bl.ko | grep alias
alias:          platform:da9052-backlight

After this patch:

$ modinfo drivers/video/backlight/da9052_bl.ko | grep alias
alias:          platform:da9052-wled3
alias:          platform:da9052-wled2
alias:          platform:da9052-wled1

If the PWM is not enabled the backlight initially should not be enabled
either if we have booted with DT and there is a phandle pointing to the
backlight node.

The patch extends the checks to decide if we should keep the backlight off
initially.

Move the checks to select the initial state for the backlight to a new
function and document the checks we are doing.

With the separate function it is going to be easier to fix or improve the
initial power state configuration later and it is easier to read the code.

Since it's not in any critical path, use the cansleep variant of the GPIO

The LP8556 datasheet describes an EN/VDDIO input, which serves "both as
a chip enable and as a power supply reference for PWM, SDA, and SCL
inputs." The LP8556 that I'm testing doesn't respond properly if I try
to talk I2C to it too quickly after enabling VDDIO, and the LP8555
datasheet mentions a t_RESPONSE delay of up to 1 millisecond.

Support this EN/VDDIO by adding a regulator property to the binding;
enabling this regulator at probe time; and sleeping for 1 to 2ms, if the
EN/VDDIO regulator was provided.

Pull pwm updates from Thierry Reding:
 "This set of changes introduces an atomic API to the PWM subsystem.
  This is influenced by the DRM atomic API that was introduced a while
  back, though it is obviously a lot simpler.  The fundamental idea
  remains the same, though: drivers provide a single callback to
  implement the atomic configuration of a PWM channel.

  As a side-effect the PWM subsystem gains the ability for initial state
  retrieval, so that the logical state mirrors that of the hardware.
  Many use-cases don't care about this, but for others it is essential.

  These new features require changes in all users, which these patches
  take care of.  The core is transitioned to use the atomic callback if
  available and provides a fallback mechanism for other drivers.

  Changes to transition users and drivers to the atomic API are
  postponed to v4.8"
