[PATCH v4 10/10] pwm-backlight: Add rudimentary device tree support

Thierry Reding thierry.reding at avionic-design.de
Thu Mar 15 02:56:33 EST 2012


This commit adds very basic support for device tree probing. Currently,
only a PWM and a list of distinct brightness levels can be specified.
Enabling or disabling backlight power via GPIOs is not yet supported.

A pointer to the exit() callback is stored in the driver data to keep it
around until the driver is unloaded.

Changes in v4:
  - store a PWM requested with of_pwm_request() in the platform data

Changes in v3:
  - use a list of distinct brightness levels instead of a linear range
    as discussed with Stephen Warren and Mitch Bradley

Changes in v2:
  - avoid oops by keeping a reference to the platform-specific exit()
    callback

TODO:
  - add fixed-regulator support for backlight enable/disable
