* backlight: Add suspend/resume support to the backlight coreRichard Purdie2009-01-081-0/+16
| | | | | | | Add suspend/resume support to the backlight core and enable use of it by appropriate drivers. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@linux.intel.com>
* backlight: Convert corgi backlight driver into a more generic driverRichard Purdie2007-10-111-0/+9
| | | | | | | | Convert the corgi backlight driver to a more generic version so it can be reused by other code rather than being Zaurus/PXA specific. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
* backlight: Convert from struct class_device to struct deviceRichard Purdie2007-07-161-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* backlight: Separate backlight properties from backlight ops pointersRichard Purdie2007-02-201-14/+19
| | | | | | | | | 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>
* backlight: Convert semaphore -> mutexRichard Purdie2007-02-201-3/+3

* backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphoreRichard Purdie2007-02-201-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Remove unneeded owner fieldRichard Purdie2007-02-201-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* ACPI: video: Add dev argument for backlight_device_registerYu Luming2006-12-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch set adds generic abstract layer support for acpi video driver to have generic user interface to control backlight and output switch control by leveraging the existing backlight sysfs class driver, and by adding a new video output sysfs class driver. This patch: Add dev argument for backlight_device_register to link the class device to real device object. The platform specific driver should find a way to get the real device object for their video device.

* [PATCH] backlight: Backlight Class ImprovementsRichard Purdie2006-03-311-10/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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!
