Hi all, Just a generic question re backlight drivers in the 4.4 kernel. I'm working on an embedded system where the hardware configuration is specified in the device tree. On the LCD panel side, there's a simple panel driver which has an optional reference to a backlight driver. I noticed that there are bunch of drivers that interfaces to various hardware controllers (e.g. bl-pwm, lm3533 etc). It makes sense to me that there could be a backlight driver that references an led_cdev driver (again via the device tree mechanism). However no such driver exists and I wonder if there is a technical reason for this. As far as I can see, the API seems to map quite nicely... Just to add a bit more context, the board I'm working on has an LCD panel with the backlight driven by an LT3593 LED controller. The kernel has an old LED driver for this particular controller (drivers/led/leds-lt3593) - which I've modified to add DT support. Rather than writing an additional controller specific backlight driver, I thought it makes more sense to provide a more generic solution.
