3e074058d7 fbdev: LCD backlight driver using Atmel PWM driver
This patch adds a platform driver using the ATMEL PWM driver to control a
backlight which requires a PWM signal and optional GPIO signal for discrete
on/off signal.  It has been tested on Favr-32 board from EarthLCD.

The driver is configurable by supplying a struct with the platform data.  See
the include/linux/atmel-pwm-bl.h for details.

The board code for Favr-32 will be submitted to the AVR32 kernel list.

This adds the OMAP1 PWL-based LCD backlight driver.  It's been in the OMAP
tree for some time.  Note that OMAP2 can do similar things with the generic
timers which have PWM outputs.  Such timers are more generic than the PWL
found on OMAP1 chips, but have a different EMI profile because they aren't
driven by a pseudorandom number generator.

a9a84c37d1 atmel_lcdfb: backlight control
On the sam9 EK boards, the LCD backlight is hooked up to a PWM output from
the LCD controller.  It's controlled by "contrast" registers though.

This patch lets boards declare that they have that kind of backlight
control.  The driver can then export this control, letting screenblank and
other operations actually take effect ...  reducing the typically
substantial power drain from the backlight.

Note that it's not fully cooked
  - doesn't force backlight off during system suspend
  - the "power" and "blank" events may not be done right
This should be easily added in the future.

0b75f2dfa2 backlight: Fix cr_bllcd allocations and error paths
After fixing the too small memory allocation in cr_backlight_probe()
from drivers/video/backlight/cr_bllcd.c
(commit e3bbb3f053) I noticed that the
Coverity checker also thought there were a few memory leaks in there.
I took a closer look and confirmed that there were indeed several
leaks.

At the start of the function we allocate storage for a
'struct cr_panel' and store the pointer in a variable named 'crp'.

Then we call pci_get_device() and pci_read_config_byte() and if
either of them fail we return without freeing the memory allocated
for the 'struct cr_panel'. These two leaks are easy to fix since we
don't even use 'crp' for anything up to this point, so I simply
moved the allocation further down in the function so it only happens
just before we actually need it.

A bit further down we call backlight_device_register() and store the
result in 'crp->cr_backlight_device'. In case of error we return
'crp->cr_backlight_device' from the function, thus leaking 'crp'
itself. The same thing happens with the call to lcd_device_register().
To fix these two leaks I declare two new pointers to hold the return
values, so that in case of error we can return the pointer (as before)
but without leaking 'crp'.

This version of the patch also adds missing
backlight_device_unregister() / lcd_device_unregister() / pci_dev_put()
calls to error paths.
  Thanks to Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> for noticing.

7b595756ec sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.

This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.

For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.

28ee086d5b backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphore
backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the

reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method.

backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal
serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing
things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to
take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all.

Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't
need it.

519ab5f2be ACPI: video: Add dev argument for backlight_device_register
This patch set adds generic abstract layer support for acpi video driver to
have generic user interface to control backlight and output switch control by
leveraging the existing backlight sysfs class driver, and by adding a new
video output sysfs class driver.

This patch:

Add dev argument for backlight_device_register to link the class device to
real device object.  The platform specific driver should find a way to get the
real device object for their video device.

4437cd1e98 [PATCH] backlight: do not power off backlight when unregistering
ACPI drivers like ibm-acpi are moving to the backlight sysfs
infrastructure.  During ibm-acpi testing, I have noticed that
backlight_device_unregister() sets the display brightness and power to
zero.

This causes the display to be dimmed on ibm-acpi module removal.  It will
affect all other ACPI drivers that are being converted to use the backlight
class, as well.  It also affects a number of framebuffer devices that are
used on desktops and laptops which might also not want such behaviour.

Since working around this behaviour requires undesireable hacks, Richard
Purdie decided that we would be better off reverting the changes in the
sysfs class, and adding the code to dim and power off the backlight device
to the drivers that want it.  This patch is my attempt to do so.

Patch against latest linux-2.6.git.  Changes untested, as I lack the
required hardware.  Still, they are trivial enough that, apart from typos,
there is little chance of getting them wrong.
