01c3664de6 video / backlight: remove the backlight_device_registered API
Since we will need the backlight_device_get_by_type API, we can use it
instead of the backlight_device_registered API whenever necessary so
remove the backlight_device_registered API.

f6a4790a54 video / backlight: add two APIs for drivers to use
It is useful to get the backlight device's pointer and use it to set
backlight in some cases(the following patch will make use of it) so add
the two APIs and export them.

cca0ba2df3 backlight: Change the return type of backlight_update_status() to int
Backlight device returns the result of update_status(), but
backlight_update_status() ignores it. So the consumers cannot confirm the
result of their function call. This patch makes the result to be returned
back for consumers.

3cc6919bd6 backlight: Add backlight device (un)registration notification
Some firmware drivers, ie acpi-video want to get themselves out of the
way (in some cases) when their also is a raw backlight device available.

Due to module loading ordering being unknown, acpi-video cannot be certain
that the backlight_device_registered(BACKLIGHT_RAW) it does for this is
the final verdict wrt there being a BACKLIGHT_RAW device.

By adding notification acpi-video can listen for backlight devices showing
up after it has loaded, and unregister its backlight device if desired.

a55944ca82 backlight: update bd state & fb_blank properties when necessary
We don't have to update the state and fb_blank properties of a backlight
device every time a blanking or unblanking event comes because they may
have already been what we want.  Another thought is that one backlight
device may be shared by multiple framebuffers.  The backlight driver
should take the backlight device as a resource shared by all the
associated framebuffers.

This patch adds some logic to record each framebuffer's backlight usage
to determine the backlight device use count and whether the two
properties should be updated or not.  To be more specific, only one
unblank operation on a certain blanked framebuffer may increase the
backlight device's use count by one, while one blank operation on a
certain unblanked framebuffer may decrease the use count by one, because
the userspace is likely to unblank an unblanked framebuffer or blank a
blanked framebuffer.

5915a3db0c backlight: introduce backlight_device_registered
Introduce a new API for modules to query if a specific type of backlight
device has been registered. This is useful for some backlight device
provider module (e.g. ACPI video) to know if a native control
interface(e.g. the interface created by i915) is available and then do
things accordingly (e.g. avoid registering its own on Win8 systems).

325253a6b2 backlight: Allow drivers to update the core, and generate events on changes
Certain hardware will send us events when the backlight brightness
changes. Add a function to update the value in the core, and
additionally send a uevent so that userspace can pop up appropriate
UI. The uevents are flagged depending on whether the update originated
in the kernel or from userspace, making it easier to only display UI
at the appropriate time.

Convert the backlight and LCD classes from struct class_device
to struct device since class_device is scheduled for removal.

One nasty API break is the backlight power attribute has had to be
renamed to bl_power and the LCD power attribute has had to be renamed
to lcd_power since the original names clash with the core. I can't see
a way around this.

28ee086d5b backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphore
backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the
header file. The external users of this are using it for a different
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.

Also update the lcd class in a similar way.

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.

6ca017658b [PATCH] backlight: Backlight Class Improvements
Backlight class attributes are currently easy to implement incorrectly.
Moving certain handling into the backlight core prevents this whilst at the
same time makes the drivers simpler and consistent.  The following changes are
included:

The brightness attribute only sets and reads the brightness variable in the
backlight_properties structure.

The power attribute only sets and reads the power variable in the
backlight_properties structure.

Any framebuffer blanking events change a variable fb_blank in the
backlight_properties structure.

The backlight driver has only two functions to implement.  One function is
called when any of the above properties change (to update the backlight
brightness), the second is called to return the current backlight brightness
value.  A new attribute "actual_brightness" is added to return this brightness
as determined by the driver having combined all the above factors (and any
driver/device specific factors).

Additionally, the backlight core takes care of checking the maximum brightness
is not exceeded and of turning off the backlight before device removal.

The corgi backlight driver is updated to reflect these changes.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
