Hi All, This series needs to be merged through a single tree, to keep things bisectable. I have even considered just squashing all 3 patches into 1, but having separate commits seems better, but that does lead to an intermediate state where the backlight sysfs interface will be broken (and fixed 2 commits later). See below for some background info. The changes to drivers/acpi/acpi_lpss.c and drivers/mfd/intel_soc_pmic_core.c are quite small and should not lead to any conflicts, so I believe that it would be best to merge this entire series through the drm-intel tree. Lee, may I have your Acked-by for merging the mfd change through the drm-intel tree? Rafael, may I have your Acked-by for merging the acpi_lpss change through the drm-intel tree? Regards, Hans p.s. The promised background info: We have this long standing issue where instead of looking in the i915 VBT (Video BIOS Table) to see if we should use the PWM block of the SoC or of the PMIC to control the backlight of a DSI panel, we rely on drivers/acpi/acpi_lpss.c and/or drivers/mfd/intel_soc_pmic_core.c registering a pwm with the generic name of "pwm_backlight" and then the i915 panel code does a pwm_get(dev, "pwm_backlight"). We have some heuristics in drivers/acpi/acpi_lpss.c to not register the lookup if a Crystal Cove PMIC is presend and the mfd/intel_soc_pmic_core.c code simply assumes that since there is a PMIC the PMIC PWM block will be used. Basically we are winging it. Recently I've learned about 2 different BYT devices: Point of View MOBII TAB-P800W Acer Switch 10 SW5-012 Which use a Crystal Cove PMIC, yet the LCD is connected to the SoC/LPSS PWM controller (and the VBT correctly indicates this), so here our old heuristics fail. This series renams the PWM lookups registered by the LPSS / intel_soc_pmic_core.c code from "pwm_backlight" to "pwm_soc_backlight" resp. "pwm_pmic_backlight" and in the LPSS case also dropping the heuristics when to register the lookup. This combined with teaching the i915 panel to call pwm_get for the right lookup-name depending on the VBT bits resolves this.
