Series [v5] platform/x86: Add driver for ACPI WMAA EC-based backlight control | expand

Commit Message

Daniel Dadap Sept. 2, 2021, 9:47 p.m. UTC
A number of upcoming notebook computer designs drive the internal
display panel's backlight PWM through the Embedded Controller (EC).
This EC-based backlight control can be plumbed through to an ACPI
"WMAA" method interface, which in turn can be wrapped by WMI with
the GUID handle 603E9613-EF25-4338-A3D0-C46177516DB7.

Add a new driver, aliased to the WMAA WMI GUID, to expose a sysfs
backlight class driver to control backlight levels on systems with
EC-driven backlights.

Hi Daniel,

one more actual thing and two tiny nitpicks.

Nowhere else is the return value of wmi_call_wmaa() checked explicitly for
greater than zero and less than zero. Why here?
At least wmaa_backlight_update_status() should have identical semantics.
The case ret > 0 should never happen.

This could also be inlined as:
	{ "603E9613-EF25-4338-A3D0-C46177516DB7" },

More a stylistic thing though.

"system's" is what I intended, and I believe it's correct. The meaning 
I'm going for here is "the Embedded Controller (EC) belonging to the 
system". I guess maybe there could be some confusion because earlier in 
the same sentence I refer to "systems" plural, referring to the class of 
systems that expose this backlight control scheme, and later in the 
sentence "system's" refers to something belonging to a singular member 
of this class. It would probably be more clear if I just drop the word 
"system's" here.

wmaa_backlight_update_status() has different semantics precisely because 
the .get_brightness() and .update_status() callbacks registered in the 
struct backlight_ops have different semantics. The return value of 
.get_brightness() serves dual duty, where a positive return value could 
be interpreted as a valid brightness level value, while in the case of 
.update_status() a positive return value is invalid.

I agree that wmi_call_wmaa() should never return > 0, but I wanted to 
protect against someone deciding in the future (for whatever reason) to 
add a code path that returns a positive value, without checking all of 
the callers of wmi_call_wmaa() to realize that this could cause a 
problem. There are not many callers of the function, though, and they're 
all in the same file, so perhaps this is not something worth worrying 
about. I suppose I could check for just the < 0 case, and add document 
the API of wmi_call_wmaa(), explicitly stating that the return value 
should be zero or negative errno.

I considered that when switching to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE, since the value 
is now only used in one place, but looking at other similar drivers, it 
does seem that the most common convention is to define the GUID as a 
macro even if it's only used once. I'll leave this as-is, I think.

I'm on Daniel's side here. But the problem I have noticed with the
proposal is different, i.e. it loses the C99 style of member
definitions.

Oh. I didn't even notice that the proposal excluded the designated 
initializer. What I had been considering was inlining the GUID string 
and getting rid of the preprocessor macro, while retaining the 
designated initializer. In any case, the prevailing style does seem to 
be to avoid inlining the constant, AFAICT.
