Hi Thomas,

The backlight is on for fb_blank eq FB_BLANK_UNBLANK, or off for
any other value in fb_blank. But the field fb_blank in struct
backlight_properties is deprecated and should not be used any
longer.
Replace the test for fb_blank in omap's backlight code with a
simple boolean parameter and push the test into the update_status
helper. Instead of reading fb_blank directly, decode the backlight
device's status with backlight_is_blank().

My biased opinion is that the approach in this patch is a little bit
better:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230107-sam-video-backlight-drop-fb_blank-v1-13-1bd9bafb351f@xxxxxxxxxxxx/
I never came around resending this series it seems.
Oh, that series has been around for over a year. I don't care about
which patches go in as long as they remove the dependency on
<linux/fb.h>. I saw that Dan has already r-b'ed the current patchset,
but if you prefer I'll adopt yours.
Best regards
Thomas
