Hi Sam,

thanks for reviewing.

Hi Thomas,

Move framebuffer and backlight helpers into separate files. Leave
fbsysfs.c to sysfs-related code. No functional changes.

The framebuffer helpers are not in fbmem.c because they are under
GPL-2.0-or-later copyright, while fbmem.c is GPL-2.0.

Some nits that you decide what to do with.

I do not get why they are moved out in separate files.
I guess the picture will materialize later.

In patch 30/30, sysfs support will be built conditionally. Doing this in the Makefile is so much nicer than having an ifdef conditional in the source files.

I'd also argue that the backlight and framebuffer functions don't belong next to the sysfs code.

Hmm, can we change the license from 2.0 to 2.0-or-later without any
concern? I hope so.

No change here. The backlight function comes from fbsysfs.c, which is also GPL-2.0-or-later.

+#include <linux/export.h>
+#include <linux/fb.h>
#include <linux/mutex.h> - to avoid relying on indirect includes?

I can do that.

Same as above, consider including mutex.h
Also slab.h

Ok.
