2008-07-24fbdev: LCD backlight driver using Atmel PWM driverHans-Christian Egtvedt
This patch adds a platform driver using the ATMEL PWM driver to control a backlight which requires a PWM signal and optional GPIO signal for discrete on/off signal. It has been tested on Favr-32 board from EarthLCD. The driver is configurable by supplying a struct with the platform data. See the include/linux/atmel-pwm-bl.h for details. The board code for Favr-32 will be submitted to the AVR32 kernel list.

This adds the OMAP1 PWL-based LCD backlight driver. It's been in the OMAP tree for some time. Note that OMAP2 can do similar things with the generic timers which have PWM outputs. Such timers are more generic than the PWL found on OMAP1 chips, but have a different EMI profile because they aren't driven by a pseudorandom number generator.

2008-02-06atmel_lcdfb: backlight controlDavid Brownell
On the sam9 EK boards, the LCD backlight is hooked up to a PWM output from the LCD controller. It's controlled by "contrast" registers though. This patch lets boards declare that they have that kind of backlight control. The driver can then export this control, letting screenblank and other operations actually take effect ... reducing the typically substantial power drain from the backlight. Note that it's not fully cooked - doesn't force backlight off during system suspend - the "power" and "blank" events may not be done right This should be easily added in the future.

2007-10-11backlight: Fix cr_bllcd allocations and error pathsJesper Juhl
After fixing the too small memory allocation in cr_backlight_probe() from drivers/video/backlight/cr_bllcd.c (commit e3bbb3f05339de438faf54124f25c92e6fe4ac2e) I noticed that the Coverity checker also thought there were a few memory leaks in there. I took a closer look and confirmed that there were indeed several leaks. At the start of the function we allocate storage for a 'struct cr_panel' and store the pointer in a variable named 'crp'. Then we call pci_get_device() and pci_read_config_byte() and if either of them fail we return without freeing the memory allocated for the 'struct cr_panel'. These two leaks are easy to fix since we don't even use 'crp' for anything up to this point, so I simply moved the allocation further down in the function so it only happens just before we actually need it. A bit further down we call backlight_device_register() and store the result in 'crp->cr_backlight_device'. In case of error we return 'crp->cr_backlight_device' from the function, thus leaking 'crp' itself. The same thing happens with the call to lcd_device_register(). To fix these two leaks I declare two new pointers to hold the return values, so that in case of error we can return the pointer (as before) but without leaking 'crp'. This version of the patch also adds missing backlight_device_unregister() / lcd_device_unregister() / pci_dev_put() calls to error paths. Thanks to Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> for noticing.

Convert the backlight and LCD classes from struct class_device to struct device since class_device is scheduled for removal.

2007-07-11sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->ownerTejun Heo
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to accessing removed modules. This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded. For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the following message. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)

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>

2006-12-08[PATCH] backlight: do not power off backlight when unregisteringHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
ACPI drivers like ibm-acpi are moving to the backlight sysfs infrastructure. During ibm-acpi testing, I have noticed that backlight_device_unregister() sets the display brightness and power to zero. This causes the display to be dimmed on ibm-acpi module removal. It will affect all other ACPI drivers that are being converted to use the backlight class, as well. It also affects a number of framebuffer devices that are used on desktops and laptops which might also not want such behaviour. Since working around this behaviour requires undesireable hacks, Richard Purdie decided that we would be better off reverting the changes in the sysfs class, and adding the code to dim and power off the backlight device to the drivers that want it. This patch is my attempt to do so. Patch against latest linux-2.6.git. Changes untested, as I lack the required hardware. Still, they are trivial enough that, apart from typos, there is little chance of getting them wrong.
