[PATCH 1/6] backlight: Nuke unused backlight.props.state states

[PATCH 1/6] backlight: Nuke unused backlight.props.state states

[Daniel Vetter]

The backlight power state handling is supremely confusing. We have:
- props.power, using FB_BLANK_* defines
- props.fb_blank, using the same, but deprecated int favour of
  props.state
- props.state, using the BL_CORE_* defines
- and finally a bunch of backlight drivers treat brightness == 0 as
  off. But of course not all of them.

This is way too much confusion to fix in a simple patch, but at least
prevent more hilarity from spreading by removing the unused BL_CORE_*
defines. I have no idea why exactly anyone would need that.

Wrt the ideal state, we really just want a boolean state. The 4 power
saving states that the fbdev subsystem uses are overkill in todays hw
(this was only relevant for VGA and similar analog circuits like
TV-out), the new drm atomic modeset api simplified even the uapi to a
simple bool. And there was never a valid technical reason to have the
intermediate fbdev power states for backlights (those really only can
be either off or on).

Cleanup motivated by Meghana's questions about all this.

Now that the 3 drivers using this are cleaned up we can also remove
this final bit of confusion of leaking driver internals into the
backlight power interface.

The backlight power interface itself is still a massive mess.

[PATCH 6/6] MAINTAINERS: add dri-devel for backlight subsystem patches

[Daniel Vetter]

For the same reasons we've added dri-devel for all fbdev patches: Most
of the actively developed drivers using this infrastructure are in
drivers/gpu/. It just makes sense to cross-post patches and keep
aligned. And total activity in the backlight subsystem is miniscule
compared to drm overall.

[PATCH 4/6] staging/fbtft: Stop using BL_CORE_DRIVER1

[Daniel Vetter]

Leaking driver internal tracking into the already massively confusing
backlight power tracking is really confusing.

Luckily we have already a drvdata structure, so fixing this is really
easy.
