Re: [PATCH v5 1/2] backlight arcxcnn add support for ArcticSand devices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Hi Daniel,

Thanks for taking the time to review this patch. The answer to most of your comments are that we develop and are developing a whole family of backlight controllers and we use this driver a lot for testing. We need the ability to reload this module without resetting the hardware for development of the module itself as well as the hardware. We use user-space interfaces for testing and copied that ability directly from existing backlight drivers already in the kernel which are really the only standard we have to go by. We have already removed a large amount of the debugging code from our module but it has become difficult to maintain two independent versions of the driver: 1 for dev and 1 for mainline. I'd really appreciate your advise on how others handle this issue which must be generic.

Thanks!


Brian

When will there be no platform data. Hotpluggable I2C backlight controllers aren't very common.

Also, if this *is* needed, shouldn't the permissions should be 0444?

Both, as above.

There's a general trend to move unused header files out of this directory and fold things back into the C code.

Are you expecting to add anything to the kernel (other than the driver) that actually includes this header, if not we probably don't need it.
