Series drm: Support basic DPCD backlight in panel-simple and add a new panel ATNA33XC20 | expand

Commit Message

Rajeev Nandan June 26, 2021, 4:51 p.m. UTC 
Some panels support backlight control over DP AUX channel using
VESA's standard backlight control interface.
Using new DRM eDP backlight helpers, add support to create and
register a backlight for those panels in drm_panel to simplify
the panel drivers.

The panel driver with access to "struct drm_dp_aux" can create and
register a backlight device using following code snippet in its
probe() function:

	err = drm_panel_dp_aux_backlight(panel, aux);
	if (err)
		return err;

Then drm_panel will handle backlight_(enable|disable) calls
similar to the case when drm_panel_of_backlight() is used.

Currently, we are not supporting one feature where the source
device can combine the backlight brightness levels set through
DP AUX and the BL_PWM_DIM eDP connector pin. Since it's not
required for the basic backlight controls, it can be added later.

This creates a cyclic dependency between drm_kms_helper-ko and drm.ko. 
drm_panel.c is in the latter, while drm_dp_dpcd_read() in 
drm_dp_helper.c is in the former. Please fix.

FYI, build DRM as modules and the error shows up during make module_install.

Yeah, this was reported Friday and I posted a patch to try to fix it:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210709152909.1.I23eb4cc5a680341e7b3e791632a635566fa5806a@changeid/

I see Rajeev had some feedback on it. Once I've dug out of my weekend
email hole I'll take a look at plan to post a v2 ASAP.

Breadcrumbs: v2 of the fix is at:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210712075933.v2.1.I23eb4cc5a680341e7b3e791632a635566fa5806a@changeid/

I'm hoping this looks OK so we can get this resolved before it trips
too many people up.
