2007-03-06[PATCH] nvidiafb backlight: Fix implicit declaration in nv_backlightDave Jones
drivers/video/nvidia/nv_backlight.c: In function 'nvidia_bl_init': drivers/video/nvidia/nv_backlight.c:103: error: implicit declaration of function 'pmac_has_backlight_type' Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@gmail.com> Cc: James Simmons <jsimmons@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-03-05backlight: Fix nvidia backlight initial brightnessRichard Purdie
Fix a mix up when the nvidia driver was converted resulting in the backlight having an incorrect initial brightness. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
2007-02-20backlight: Separate backlight properties from backlight ops pointersRichard Purdie
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>
2007-02-20backlight: Clean up pmac_backlight handlingRichard Purdie
Move the setting/unsetting of pmac_backlight into the backlight core instead of doing it in each driver. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
2007-02-20backlight: Rework backlight/fb interaction simplifying, lotsRichard Purdie
fb_info->bl_mutex is badly thought out and the backlight class doesn't need it if the framebuffer/backlight register/unregister order is consistent, particularly after the backlight locking fixes. Fix the drivers to use the order: backlight_device_register() register_framebuffer() unregister_framebuffer() backlight_device_unregister() and turn bl_mutex into a lock for the bl_curve data only. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
2007-02-20backlight: Remove uneeded nvidia set_power callsRichard Purdie
nvidia_bl_set_power isn't needed since the backlight class handles this by receiving fb events itself and calling update_status so remove it. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
2007-02-20backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphoreRichard Purdie
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>
2007-02-20backlight: Remove unneeded owner fieldRichard Purdie
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>

2006-09-01[PATCH] backlight last round of fixesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Fix some more problems (inverted use of semaphores in some places). He also moved my checks into within the protected section which is better.

2006-08-30[PATCH] fbdev: Fix crashes in various fbdev's blank routinesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The backlight changes that went in had a bug where they could cause the kernel to access an unitialized pointer when blanking if there is no backlight control on a machine. The bug affects atyfb, aty128fb, nvidiafb and rivafb. radeonfb seems to be ok. This fixes it.

2006-07-10[PATCH] powermac: Combined fixes for backlight codeMichael Hanselmann
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. <aris@valeta.org>). - 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 <linux-kernel@hansmi.ch> Acked-by: Aristeu S.

2006-06-25[PATCH] Rewritten backlight infrastructure for portable Apple computersMichael Hanselmann
This patch contains a total rewrite of the backlight infrastructure for portable Apple computers. Backward compatibility is retained. A sysfs interface allows userland to control the brightness with more steps than before. Userland is allowed to upload a brightness curve for different monitors, similar to Mac OS X.
