Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

backlight: update bd state & fb_blank properties when necessary We don't have to update the state and fb_blank properties of a backlight device every time a blanking or unblanking event comes because they may have already been what we want. Another thought is that one backlight device may be shared by multiple framebuffers. The backlight driver should take the backlight device as a resource shared by all the associated framebuffers. This patch adds some logic to record each framebuffer's backlight usage to determine the backlight device use count and whether the two properties should be updated or not. To be more specific, only one unblank operation on a certain blanked framebuffer may increase the backlight device's use count by one, while one blank operation on a certain unblanked framebuffer may decrease the use count by one, because the userspace is likely to unblank an unblanked framebuffer or blank a blanked framebuffer.

backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphore 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>

backlight: Allow drivers to update the core, and generate events on changes Certain hardware will send us events when the backlight brightness changes. Add a function to update the value in the core, and additionally send a uevent so that userspace can pop up appropriate UI. The uevents are flagged depending on whether the update originated in the kernel or from userspace, making it easier to only display UI at the appropriate time.

backlight: Add backlight device (un)registration notification Some firmware drivers, ie acpi-video want to get themselves out of the way (in some cases) when their also is a raw backlight device available. Due to module loading ordering being unknown, acpi-video cannot be certain that the backlight_device_registered(BACKLIGHT_RAW) it does for this is the final verdict wrt there being a BACKLIGHT_RAW device. By adding notification acpi-video can listen for backlight devices showing up after it has loaded, and unregister its backlight device if desired.

[PATCH] backlight: Backlight Class Improvements Backlight class attributes are currently easy to implement incorrectly. Moving certain handling into the backlight core prevents this whilst at the same time makes the drivers simpler and consistent. The following changes are included: The brightness attribute only sets and reads the brightness variable in the backlight_properties structure. The power attribute only sets and reads the power variable in the backlight_properties structure. Any framebuffer blanking events change a variable fb_blank in the backlight_properties structure. The backlight driver has only two functions to implement. One function is called when any of the above properties change (to update the backlight brightness), the second is called to return the current backlight brightness value. A new attribute "actual_brightness" is added to return this brightness as determined by the driver having combined all the above factors (and any driver/device specific factors). Additionally, the backlight core takes care of checking the maximum brightness is not exceeded and of turning off the backlight before device removal. The corgi backlight driver is updated to reflect these changes.

backlight: Change the return type of backlight_update_status() to int Backlight device returns the result of update_status(), but backlight_update_status() ignores it. So the consumers cannot confirm the result of their function call. This patch makes the result to be returned back for consumers.

backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphore 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>

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

backlight: Allow properties to be passed at registration 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.

backlight: Allow drivers to update the core, and generate events on changes Certain hardware will send us events when the backlight brightness changes. Add a function to update the value in the core, and additionally send a uevent so that userspace can pop up appropriate UI. The uevents are flagged depending on whether the update originated in the kernel or from userspace, making it easier to only display UI at the appropriate time.

backlight: introduce backlight_device_registered Introduce a new API for modules to query if a specific type of backlight device has been registered. This is useful for some backlight device provider module (e.g. ACPI video) to know if a native control interface(e.g. the interface created by i915) is available and then do things accordingly (e.g. avoid registering its own on Win8 systems).

backlight: Add backlight device (un)registration notification Some firmware drivers, ie acpi-video want to get themselves out of the way (in some cases) when their also is a raw backlight device available. Due to module loading ordering being unknown, acpi-video cannot be certain that the backlight_device_registered(BACKLIGHT_RAW) it does for this is the final verdict wrt there being a BACKLIGHT_RAW device. By adding notification acpi-video can listen for backlight devices showing up after it has loaded, and unregister its backlight device if desired.

backlight: Convert from struct class_device to struct device Convert the backlight and LCD classes from struct class_device to struct device since class_device is scheduled for removal. One nasty API break is the backlight power attribute has had to be renamed to bl_power and the LCD power attribute has had to be renamed to lcd_power since the original names clash with the core. I can't see a way around this. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
