( Original posting from [1] ) I have the backlight-type patchset for months in my patch-series (and maintained them if necessary against daily linux-next). Also the last series from 14-Jan-2011 (see 1-5 patch from [2] and the following ones at dri-devel ML). If you couldn't find the updated v2 radeon-backlight-type patch, here the extract from my patch-series: ... # Patch from <https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/491351/> + backlight-type/v2-drm-radeon-kms-Expose-backlight-class-device-for-legacy-LVDS-encoder.patch ... I can only speak for the radeon(-KMS) part with CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=y set and against linux-next: It worked, it works. I am a bit angry that someone of the "big 5" gets immediately an answer where mine is ignored [3]. So dear Mr. AKPM, if you can standstill for a few moments to answer only one of my questions, through which kernel-tree will this patchset walk trough? Thanks in advance. - Sedat - [1] http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2011-January/007378.html [2] http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2011-January/007168.html [3] http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2011-January/007193.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
