We could also - move drivers/video/backlight to drivers/gpu/backlight and take it all - over within drm-misc, but that's more work. Backlight helpers require a fair - bit of reworking and refactoring. A simple example is the enabling of a backlight. - Tinydrm has helpers for this. It would be good if other drivers can also use the - helper. However, there are various cases we need to consider i.e different - drivers seem to have different ways of enabling/disabling a backlight. - We also need to consider the backlight drivers (like gpio_backlight). The situation - is further complicated by the fact that the backlight is tied to fbdev - via fb_notifier_callback() which has complicated logic.
