+Emulator for DELL0501 UART attached backlight controller
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+Dell All In One (AIO) models released after 2017 use a backlight controller
+board connected to an UART.
+
+In DSDT this uart port will be defined as:
+
+ Name (_HID, "DELL0501")
+ Name (_CID, EisaId ("PNP0501")
+
+With the DELL0501 indicating that we are dealing with an UART with
+the backlight controller board attached.
+
+This small emulator allows testing
+the drivers/platform/x86/dell/dell-uart-backlight.c driver without access
+to an actual Dell All In One.
+
+This requires:
+1. A (desktop) PC with a 16550 UART on the motherboard and a standard DB9
+ connector connected to this UART.
+2. A DB9 NULL modem cable.
+3. A second DB9 serial port, this can e.g. be a USB to serial converter
+ with a DB9 connector plugged into the same desktop PC.
+4. A DSDT overlay for the desktop PC replacing the _HID of the 16550 UART
+ ACPI Device() with "DELL0501" and adding a _CID of "PNP0501", see
+ DSDT.patch for an example of the necessary DSDT changes.
+
+With everything setup and the NULL modem cable connected between
+the 2 serial ports run:
+
+./dell-uart-backlight-emulator <path-to-/dev/tty*S#-for-second-port>
+
+For example when using an USB to serial converter for the second port:
+
+./dell-uart-backlight-emulator /dev/ttyUSB0
+
+And then (re)load the dell-uart-backlight driver:
+
+sudo rmmod dell-uart-backlight; sudo modprobe dell-uart-backlight dyndbg
+
+After this check "dmesg" to see if the driver correctly received
+the firmware version string from the emulator. If this works there
+should be a /sys/class/backlight/dell_uart_backlight/ directory now
+and writes to the brightness or bl_power files should be reflected
+by matching output from the emulator.

Dell All In One (AIO) models released after 2017 use a backlight controller board connected to an UART. Add a small emulator to allow development and testing of the drivers/platform/x86/dell/dell-uart-backlight.c driver for this board, without requiring access to an actual Dell All In One.
