The backlight support has two properties that express the state: - power - state It is un-documented and easy to get wrong. Add backlight_is_blank() helper to make it simpler for drivers to get the check of the state correct. A lot of drivers also includes checks for fb_blank. This check is redundant when the state is checked and thus not needed in this helper function. But added anyway to avoid introducing subtle bugs due to the creative use of fb_blank in some drivers. Introducing this helper will for some drivers results in added support for fb_blank. This will be a change in functionality, which will improve the backlight driver. Rolling out this helper to all relevant backlight drivers will eliminate almost all accesses to fb_blank. v3: - Clarified that the fb_blank support in backlight_is_blank() may result in functionality changes for the users (Emil) v2: - Added fb_blank condition (Daniel) Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Reviewed-by: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@linaro.org> Cc: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@gmail.com> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Cc: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org> Cc: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@linaro.org> Cc: Jingoo Han <jingoohan1@gmail.com> --- include/linux/backlight.h | 19 +++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+)
