[PATCH v6] platform/x86: Add driver for ACPI WMAA EC-based backlight control

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A number of upcoming notebook computer designs drive the internal
display panel's backlight PWM through the Embedded Controller (EC).
This EC-based backlight control can be plumbed through to an ACPI
"WMAA" method interface, which in turn can be wrapped by WMI with
the GUID handle 603E9613-EF25-4338-A3D0-C46177516DB7.

Add a new driver, aliased to the WMAA WMI GUID, to expose a sysfs
backlight class driver to control backlight levels on systems with
EC-driven backlights.

v2: Convert to WMI subsystem driver, suggested by Mario Limonciello
    <mario.limonciello@xxxxxxxxxxx>; various cleanups suggested by
    Barnabás Pőcze <pobrn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
v3: Address assorted style nits raised by Andy Shevchenko
    <andy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxx> in response to a related patch; remove
    additional behavior change to WMI subsystem from patch series as
    recommended by Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> 
v4: Use MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() (Thomas Weißschuh <thomas@xxxxxxxx>)
    Fix scope of internal driver state; various style fixes (Barnabás
    Pőcze, Andy Shevchenko)
    Use devm_backlight_device_register() (Barnabás Pőcze)
    Add kerneldoc comments for enums and structs (Andy Shevchenko)
v5: Remove Aaron Plattner as author, as suggested by Aaron Plattner
    <aplattner@xxxxxxxxxx>
    Register as BACKLIGHT_FIRMWARE rather than BACKLIGHT_PLATFORM;
    Return negative errno if .get_brightness() fails (Thomas Weißschuh)
    Assorted style improvements (Andy Shevchenko, Thomas Weißschuh)
v6: Make behavior of callers of wmi_call_wmaa() more consistent;
    simplify potentially confusing description in Kconfig help text
    (Thomas Weißschuh)
