afaiu it is not uncommon to need to control backlight via panel (ie, I
think basically all adaptive-backlight panels). I think the answer is
for these panels, the panel driver would register it's own backlight
driver, rather than get a (pwm, etc) backlight via dt bindings.
Possibly if the backlight commands are standardized enough then we
could implement a single drm_panel_dsi_backlight helper which could be
created by any of the dsi adaptive-backlight panels (ie. pass in a
'struct mipi_dsi_device *').. something like:
struct drm_panel_dsi_backlight {
struct mipi_panel_dsi_device *link;
...
}
struct backlight_device *drm_panel_create_dsi_backlight(struct
mipi_panel_dsi_device *link)
{
struct drm_panel_dsi_backlight *dsi_bl;
...
return devm_backlight_device_register(&link->dev, ..., dsi_bl,
dsi_bl_ops, props);
}
