Hello all
I am one of the people who is trying to work on getting linux working on the ASUS T100TA
i am writing this to inquire about the following from the intel-gfx mailing list in regards to the Backlight for the T100TA that you created using the crystalcove PMIC. this was done back in April 2015 and maybe got buried under everything else
do you know if this has been upstreamed yet or when it will be upstreamed?
if not would you be able to send me the patches so we can take advantage of this on the latest 4.1 kernel?
i have copied the message below for your review
thank you for your consideration
Hi All,
Finally I came back to this and tried to address the pending review comments.
Couple of the patches from the older series were merged in linux-next. This
series reworks on the remaining and rebases on linux-next. Basically following
are implemented -
1. GPIO control for panel enable/disable with GFX device as consumer
2. New PWM chip driver added for CRC PMIC based backlight control
3. i915 is modified to use the CRC gpio chip and the CRC PWM chip to do
backlight control. This is now added in intel_panel.c in the generic
panel backlight control infrastructure
All these patches have been tested on AsusT100 and working fine using
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight interface.
Recently I noticed another device Dell Venue 8 Pro (BYT-CR) which should be
using LPSS backlight control. There is already a LPSS PWM chip driver in
upstream kernel which should be used in this case. That patch is for another
day.
