I wanted this part to be as simple as possible. I will look into IIO
DAC subsystem.
The DAC is as simple 2 channel 8-bit i2c device connected to a separate i2c bus
controlled through a register in LoCoMo device. One channel is used
for backlight,
other will be used for volume control. So (in theory) I can add the
following device
chain:  locomo -> i2c-locomo -> m62332 -> IIO DAC client.  However isn't that
quite an overkill for just backlight & volume control? Please advice me on this.


[skipped the irqdomain part - I will use them, thanks for the suggestion.]

Unfortunately little is known here - these values are c&p from old 2.4
Lineo code.
This part is related to generating synchronization pulses for accessing
touchscreen.
