2011-03-22backlight: add backlight typeMatthew Garrett
There may be multiple ways of controlling the backlight on a given machine. Allow drivers to expose the type of interface they are providing, making it possible for userspace to make appropriate policy decisions.

2010-11-16backlight: constify backlight_opsLionel Debroux
backlight_device_register has been expecting a const "ops" argument, and using it as such, since 9905a43b2d563e6f89e4c63c4278ada03f2ebb14. Let's make the remaining backlight_ops instances const. Inspired by hunks of the grsecurity patch, updated for newer kernels.

2010-03-16backlight: Allow properties to be passed at registrationMatthew Garrett
Values such as max_brightness should be set before backlights are registered, but the current API doesn't allow that. Add a parameter to backlight_device_register and update drivers to ensure that they set this correctly.

machine is compatible is an OF-specific call. It should have the of_ prefix to protect the global namespace. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Acked-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>
2008-03-13[POWERPC] Fix sleep on some powerbooksBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The PMU backlight code would kick in during sleep/resume even on machines that use a different backlight method. This breaks sleep on some PowerBooks. This fixes it by adding a flag to indicate whether the backlight is controlled by the PMU, and testing that before trying to use the PMU to turn off the backlight during sleep.

2007-12-21[POWERPC] Fix for via-pmu based backlight controlBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This fixes a few issues with via-pmu based backlight control. First, it fixes a sign problem with the setup of the backlight curve since the `range' value there -can- (and will) go negative. Then, it reworks the interaction between this and the via-pmu sleep code to properly restore backlight on wakeup from sleep.

2007-02-20backlight: Separate backlight properties from backlight ops pointersRichard Purdie
Per device data such as brightness belongs to the indivdual device and should therefore be separate from the the backlight operation function pointers. This patch splits the two types of data and allows simplifcation of some code. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
2007-02-20backlight: Clean up pmac_backlight handlingRichard Purdie
Move the setting/unsetting of pmac_backlight into the backlight core instead of doing it in each driver. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
2007-02-20backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphoreRichard Purdie
backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the header file. The external users of this are using it for a different reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method. backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all. Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't need it. Also update the lcd class in a similar way. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
2007-02-20backlight: Remove unneeded owner fieldRichard Purdie
Remove uneeded owner field from backlight_properties structure. Nothing uses it and it is unlikely that it will ever be used. The backlight class uses other means to ensure that nothing references unloaded code. Based on a patch from Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@insightbb.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>

2006-09-29[PATCH] Fix uninitialised spinlock in via-pmu-backlight code.David Woodhouse
The uninitialised pmu_backlight_lock causes the current Fedora test kernel (which has spinlock debugging enabled) to panic on suspend. This is suboptimal, so I fixed it.

2006-09-01[PATCH] powerpc: More via-pmu backlight fixesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The via-pmu backlight code (introduced in 2.6.18) has various design issues causing crashes on machines using it like the old Wallstreet powerbook (Michael, the author, never managed to test on these and I just got my hand on one of those old beasts). This fixes them by no longer trying to hijack the backlight device of the frontmost framebuffer (causing that framebuffer to crash) but having it's own local bits instead. Might look weird but it's better that way on those old machines, at least as a last-minute fix for 2.6.18. We might rework the whole thing later. This patch also changes the way it gets notified of sleep and wakeup in order to properly shut the backlight down on sleep and bring it back on wakeup.

2006-07-31[PATCH] powermac: More powermac backlight fixesMichael Hanselmann
This patch fixes several problems: - The legacy backlight value might be set at interrupt time. Introduced a worker to prevent it from directly calling the backlight code. - via-pmu allows the backlight to be grabbed, in which case we need to prevent other kernel code from changing the brightness. - Don't send PMU requests in via-pmu-backlight when the machine is about to sleep or waking up. - More Kconfig fixes.

2006-06-25[PATCH] Rewritten backlight infrastructure for portable Apple computersMichael Hanselmann
This patch contains a total rewrite of the backlight infrastructure for portable Apple computers. Backward compatibility is retained. A sysfs interface allows userland to control the brightness with more steps than before. Userland is allowed to upload a brightness curve for different monitors, similar to Mac OS X.
