/**
|
||||
* DOC: overview
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The backlight core supports implementing backlight drivers.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* A backlight driver registers a driver using
|
||||
* devm_backlight_device_register(). The properties of the backlight
|
||||
* driver such as type and max_brightness must be specified.
|
||||
* When the core detect changes in for example brightness or power state
|
||||
* the update_status() operation is called. The backlight driver shall
|
||||
* implement this operation and use it to adjust backlight.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Several sysfs attributes are provided by the backlight core::
|
||||
*
|
||||
* - brightness R/W, set the requested brightness level
|
||||
* - actual_brightness RO, the brightness level used by the HW
|
||||
* - max_brightness RO, the maximum brightness level supported
|
||||
*
|
||||
* See Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-class-backlight for the full list.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The backlight can be adjusted using the sysfs interface, and
|
||||
* the backlight driver may also support adjusting backlight using
|
||||
* a hot-key or some other platform or firmware specific way.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The driver must implement the get_brightness() operation if
|
||||
* the HW do not support all the levels that can be specified in
|
||||
* brightness, thus providing user-space access to the actual level
|
||||
* via the actual_brightness attribute.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* When the backlight changes this is reported to user-space using
|
||||
* an uevent connected to the actual_brightness attribute.
|
||||
* When brightness is set by platform specific means, for example
|
||||
* a hot-key to adjust backlight, the driver must notify the backlight
|
||||
* core that brightness has changed using backlight_force_update().
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The backlight driver core receives notifications from fbdev and
|
||||
* if the event is FB_EVENT_BLANK and if the value of blank, from the
|
||||
* FBIOBLANK ioctrl, results in a change in the backlight state the
|
||||
* update_status() operation is called.
