Don't clear the backlight level when we're going into suspend or blanking. Instead, just temporarily set the level to 0 so we retain the value when we resume.
Could you describe what the problem is? I wrote same code in other backlight drivers. So maybe I need to look into them as well.

After that, this driver can't show exact brightness value when the application tries to read 'brightness' through the sysfs.
The backlight is off but read value of 'brightness' is non-zero. https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/video/backlight/backlight.c?id=refs/tags/v4.1-rc3#n159 Best regards, Milo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fbdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
