From e01af0384f54023b4548b7742952da2ffcafd4cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Hanselmann Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 04:44:45 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] powermac: Combined fixes for backlight code This patch fixes several problems: - pmac_backlight_key() is called under interrupt context, and therefore can't use mutexes or semaphores, so defer the backlight level for later, as it's not critical (original code by Aristeu S. Rozanski F. ). - Add exports for functions that might be called from modules - Fix Kconfig depdencies on PMAC_BACKLIGHT. - Fix locking issues on calls from inside the driver (reported by Aristeu S. Rozanski F., too) - Fix wrong calculation of backlight values in some of the drivers - Replace pmac_backlight_key_up/down by inline functions [akpm@osdl.org: fix function prototypes] Signed-off-by: Michael Hanselmann Acked-by: Aristeu S.
