2025-04-10backlight: Replace fb events with a dedicated function callThomas Zimmermann1-0/+12
Remove support for fb events from backlight subsystem. Provide the helper backlight_notify_blank_all() instead. Also export the existing helper backlight_notify_blank() to update a single backlight device. In fbdev, call either helper to inform the backlight subsystem of changes to a display's blank state. If the framebuffer device has a specific backlight, only update this one; otherwise update all. v4: - protect blacklight declarations with IS_REACHABLE() (kernel test robot) v3: - declare empty fb_bl_notify_blank() as static inline (kernel test robot) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Acked-by: Simona Vetter <simona.vetter@ffwll.ch> Reviewed-by: "Daniel Thompson (RISCstar)" <danielt@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250321095517.313713-7-tzimmermann@suse.de Signed-off-by: Lee Jones <lee@kernel.org>
2024-03-28backlight: Match backlight device against struct fb_info.bl_devThomas Zimmermann1-0/+6
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 <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javierm@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240305162425.23845-2-tzimmermann@suse.de Signed-off-by: Lee Jones <lee@kernel.org>
2023-06-27fbdev/core: Move framebuffer and backlight helpers into separate filesThomas Zimmermann1-0/+33
Move framebuffer and backlight helpers into separate files. Leave fbsysfs.c to sysfs-related code. No functional changes. The framebuffer helpers are not in fbmem.c because they are under GPL-2.0-or-later copyright, while fbmem.c is GPL-2.0. v2: * include <linux/mutex.h> (Sam) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20230613110953.24176-34-tzimmermann@suse.de
