backlight: Remove notifier

2024-10-09T14:42:48+00:00

backlight_register_notifier and backlight_unregister_notifier have been unused since commit 6cb634d0dc85 ("ACPI: video: Remove code to unregister acpi_video backlight when a native backlight registers") With those not being called, it means that the backlight_notifier list is always empty. Remove the functions, the list itself and the enum used in the notifications.

backlight: Make backlight_class constant

2024-05-10T14:44:28+00:00

Since commit 43a7206b0963 ("driver core: class: make class_register() take a const *"), the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only memory, so move the backlight_class structure to be declared at build time placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically allocated at boot time.

backlight: Remove fb_blank from struct backlight_properties

2024-03-28T10:16:26+00:00

Remove the field fb_blank from struct backlight_properties and remove all code that still sets or reads it. Backlight blank status is now tracked exclusively in struct backlight_properties.state. The core backlight code keeps the fb_blank and state fields in sync, but doesn't do anything else with fb_blank. Several drivers initialize fb_blank to FB_BLANK_UNBLANK to enable the backlight. This is already the default for the state field. So we can delete the fb_blank code from core and drivers and rely on the state field.

backlight: Add controls_device callback to struct backlight_ops

2024-03-28T10:09:06+00:00

Replace check_fb with controls_device in struct backlight_ops. The new callback interface takes a Linux device instead of a framebuffer. Resolves one of the dependencies of backlight.h on fb.h. The few drivers that had custom implementations of check_fb can easily use the framebuffer's Linux device instead. Update them accordingly.

backlight: Match backlight device against struct fb_info.bl_dev

2024-03-28T10:08:47+00:00

Framebuffer drivers for devices with dedicated backlight are supposed to set struct fb_info.bl_dev to the backlight's respective device. Use the value to match backlight and framebuffer in the backlight core code. The code first tests against struct backlight_ops.check_ops. If this test succeeds, it performs the test against fbdev. So backlight drivers can override the later test as before. Fbdev's backlight support depends on CONFIG_FB_BACKLIGHT. To avoid ifdef in the code, the new helper fb_bl_device() returns the backlight device, or NULL if the config option has been disabled. The test in the backlight code will then do nothing. v4: * declare empty fb_bl_device() as static inline * export fb_bl_device() v3: * hide ifdef in fb_bl_device() (Lee) * no if-else blocks (Andy) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Reviewed-by: Daniel Thompson Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240305162425.23845-2-tzimmermann@suse.de Signed-off-by: Lee Jones

fbdev: Split frame buffer support in FB and FB_CORE symbols

2023-07-22T10:25:04+00:00

Currently the CONFIG_FB option has to be enabled even if no legacy fbdev drivers are needed (e.g: only to have support for framebuffer consoles). The DRM subsystem has a fbdev emulation layer, but depends on CONFIG_FB and so it can only be enabled if that dependency is enabled as well. That means fbdev drivers have to be explicitly disabled if users want to enable CONFIG_FB, only to use fbcon and/or the DRM fbdev emulation layer. This patch introduces a non-visible CONFIG_FB_CORE symbol that could be enabled just to have core support needed for CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION, allowing CONFIG_FB to be disabled (and automatically disabling all the fbdev drivers). Nothing from fb_backlight.o and fbmon.o is used by the DRM fbdev emulation layer so these two objects can be compiled out when CONFIG_FB is disabled.

driver core: class: remove module * from class_create()

2023-03-17T14:16:33+00:00

The module pointer in class_create() never actually did anything, and it shouldn't have been requred to be set as a parameter even if it did something. So just remove it and fix up all callers of the function in the kernel tree at the same time. Cc: "Rafael J.

backlight: backlight: Slighly simplify devm_of_find_backlight()

2022-03-08T10:47:28+00:00

Use devm_add_action_or_reset() instead of devm_add_action()+hand writing what is done in the release function, should an error occur. This is more straightforward and saves a few lines of code. While at it, remove a useless test in devm_backlight_release(). 'data' is known to be not NULL when this function is called.
