<title>ACPI: video: Add dev argument for backlight_device_register</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

<title>[PATCH] backlight: do not power off backlight when unregistering</title>
<updated>2006-12-08T16:29:07+00:00</updated>

<id>4437cd1e98409e236a9d303fb742fdd53b3a20bb</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

The backlight layer should be independent from the framebuffer layer.  It
can use the services offered by the framebuffer, but its absence should not
prevent the backlight/lcd layer from functioning.
