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.

2006-07-31[PATCH] fbdev: statically link the framebuffer notification functionsAntonino A. Daplas
The backlight and lcd subsystems can be notified by the framebuffer layer of blanking events. However, these subsystems, as a whole, can function independently from the framebuffer layer. But in order to enable to the lcd and backlight subsystems, the framebuffer has to be compiled also, effectively sucking in a huge amount of unneeded code. To prevent dependency problems, separate out the framebuffer notification mechanism from the framebuffer layer and permanently link it to the kernel.

2006-03-31[PATCH] backlight: Backlight Class ImprovementsRichard Purdie
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.

2005-11-10[ARM] 3096/1: Add SharpSL Zaurus power and battery management core driverRichard Purdie
Patch from Richard Purdie This patch adds a power and battery management core driver which with the addition of the right device files, supports the c7x0 and cxx00 series of Sharp Zaurus handhelds. The driver is complex for several reasons. Battery charging is manually monitored and controlled. When suspended, the device needs to periodically partially resume, check the charging status and then re-suspend. It does without bothering the higher linux layers as a full resume and re-suspend is unnecessary. The code is carefully written to avoid interrupts or calling code outside the module under these circumstances. It also vets the various wake up sources and monitors the device's power situation. Hooks to limit the backlight intensity and to notify the battery monitoring code of backlight events are connected/added as the backlight is one of the biggest users of power on the device.

2005-10-28[PATCH] DRIVER MODEL: Get rid of the obsolete tri-level suspend/resume callbacksRussell King
In PM v1, all devices were called at SUSPEND_DISABLE level. Then all devices were called at SUSPEND_SAVE_STATE level, and finally SUSPEND_POWER_DOWN level. However, with PM v2, to maintain compatibility for platform devices, I arranged for the PM v2 suspend/resume callbacks to call the old PM v1 suspend/resume callbacks three times with each level in order so that existing drivers continued to work. Since this is obsolete infrastructure which is no longer necessary, we can remove it. Here's an (untested) patch to do exactly that.

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.
