[ Upstream commit 392346827fbe8a7fd573dfb145170d7949f639a6 ]

props is stack allocated and the fields that are not explcitly set
by the probe function need to be zeroed or we'll get undefined behaviour
(especially so power/blank states)!

[ Upstream commit 4bf7ddd2d2f0f8826f25f74c7eba4e2c323a1446 ]

There's no need to set bl-&gt;props.brightness, the get_brightness function
is just supposed to return the current brightness and not touch the
struct.

With that done we can also remove the 'goto out' and just return the
value.

commit 1ca8819320fd84e7d95b04e7668efc5f9fe9fa5c upstream.

Struct lv5207lp_platform_data refers to a platform device within
the Linux device hierarchy. The test in lv5207lp_backlight_check_fb()
compares it against the fbdev device in struct fb_info.dev, which
is different. Fix the test by comparing to struct fb_info.device.

Fixes a bug in the backlight driver and prepares fbdev for making
struct fb_info.dev optional.

commit 33a5471f8da976bf271a1ebbd6b9d163cb0cb6aa upstream.

The note in c2adda27d202f ("video: backlight: Add of_find_backlight helper
in backlight.c") says that gpio-backlight uses brightness as power state.
This has been fixed since in ec665b756e6f7 ("backlight: gpio-backlight:
Correct initial power state handling") and other backlight drivers do not
require this workaround. Drop the workaround.

This fixes the case where e.g. pwm-backlight can perfectly well be set to
brightness 0 on boot in DT, which without this patch leads to the display
brightness to be max instead of off.

<title>backlight: pwm_bl: Improve bootloader/kernel device handover</title>

commit 79fad92f2e596f5a8dd085788a24f540263ef887 upstream.

Currently there are (at least) two problems in the way pwm_bl starts
managing the enable_gpio pin. Both occur when the backlight is initially
off and the driver finds the pin not already in output mode and, as a
result, unconditionally switches it to output-mode and asserts the signal.

Problem 1: This could cause the backlight to flicker since, at this stage
in driver initialisation, we have no idea what the PWM and regulator are
doing (an unconfigured PWM could easily "rest" at 100% duty cycle).

Problem 2: This will cause us not to correctly honour the
post_pwm_on_delay (which also risks flickers).

Fix this by moving the code to configure the GPIO output mode until after
we have examines the handover state. That allows us to initialize
enable_gpio to off if the backlight is currently off and on if the
backlight is on.
