Not sending yet to pwm mailing list as this is all untested. C.B. please
test the patches and see if they work at all for you. For testing Please
enable -

CONFIG_PWM_LPSS=y
CONFIG_PWM_LPSS_PLATFORM=y

I applied these patches to 4.4-rc8. So far no progress:

[   14.251512] [drm:pwm_setup_backlight [i915]] *ERROR* Failed to own
the pwm chip: pm_backlight

Are you sure this is pm_backlight, it should have printed pwm_backlight as that is the name for the PMIC bases PWM. I checked the code and I have not made a typo there.


I dug in a little and found that dev_priv->vbt.dsi.config->pwm_blc ==
0,  I wonder if some of these Dell Venue's have different hardware?
This is the model I have:


This means that this device is using PMIC base PWM and not LPSS. I have heard from Brain, that my CRC PWM driver is also broken in latest kernel which should be probably used in this device. I am looking into that separately.
