[PATCH 2/2 v1] backlight: Add Kinetic KTD253 backlight driver

[Linus Walleij]

The Kinetic KTD253 backlight driver is controlled with a
single GPIO line, but still supports a range of brightness
settings by sending fast pulses on the line.

This is based off the source code release for the Samsung
GT-S7710 mobile phone.

No $ref for common.yaml?

Both looks like candidates for common.yaml - they are used by other
bindings.

It would make senste that maximum-brighness was mandatory too.

default-on is not documented - and not part of common.yaml.

Both looks like candidates for common.yaml - they are used by other

It would make senste that maximum-brighness was mandatory too.

default-on is not documented - and not part of common.yaml.

In -next there is a few updated to backlight stuff that this driver
could benefit from.
My comments in the following assumes you have the latest -next.

In drm land these needs to be sorted.

Use backligt_get_brightness() to get the brightness.
Then you can delete ktd253_backlight_get_next_brightness()

Pass a backlight_properties to devm_backlight_device_register.
So this is correct at init time.

FB_BLANK_* are constant used by the fb_blank icotl - and should not be
used here.
Do not assign props.power - as there is no change in power state to
report.

In other words:
Init backlight_properties with:
- max_brightness
- brightness
- Type (RAW)
Call devm_backlight_device_register()

Then unconditionally call backlight_update_status()
(Not the local variant, go via backlight core)

The above is my understandig - but let the backlight people chime in
too.

I would love if we could make it simpler to register a backlight
device...

[I ended up dropping this into this thread... but it applies to both
patches]

I'm a bit sceptical of having a max-brightness in the DT and a driver
defined lookup table in the driver itself. That doesn't make a whole lot
of sense to me since the maximum brightness here is basically relies on
knowing what scale the Linux driver has opted to implement in its tables.

I think there are two options here.

1. Throw away the brightness table in the driver and expose the hardware
   steps directly (maybe using allowing properties such as
   max-brightness = 24 if the top 8 values cannot be distinguished
   visually).

2. Implement a brightness table in the DT if there really is a need
   to linearize the feel of the slider. In that case max-brightness
   can be inferred from the maximum value in the table.

Note that #2 is absolutely *not* the same as the tables in pwm_bl.c
(which are used to map a very wide linear scale on the hardware into a
smaller logarithmic interface for software to use). For this driver
the driver's lookup table is used to present an oversized
scale to software and quantizing it in the driver (using variably sized
quantums) to create a hardware value.

This can be useful if the hardware's perceptual response feels *really*
lumpy but often results in sliders with dead zones (because they do not
"snap" to the hardware intervals). Looking at the gaps in the driver I'm
suspect the table is not worth the effort (the difference in the deltas
is pretty modest) but I'm happy to contradicted by someone with access
to the hardware!

[I ended up dropping this into this thread... but it applies to both
patches]

I'm a bit sceptical of having a max-brightness in the DT and a driver
defined lookup table in the driver itself. That doesn't make a whole lot
of sense to me since the maximum brightness here is basically relies on
knowing what scale the Linux driver has opted to implement in its tables.

I think there are two options here.

1. Throw away the brightness table in the driver and expose the hardware
   steps directly (maybe using allowing properties such as
   max-brightness = 24 if the top 8 values cannot be distinguished
   visually).

2. Implement a brightness table in the DT if there really is a need
   to linearize the feel of the slider. In that case max-brightness
   can be inferred from the maximum value in the table.

Note that #2 is absolutely *not* the same as the tables in pwm_bl.c
(which are used to map a very wide linear scale on the hardware into a
smaller logarithmic interface for software to use). For this driver
the driver's lookup table is used to present an oversized
scale to software and quantizing it in the driver (using variably sized
quantums) to create a hardware value.

This can be useful if the hardware's perceptual response feels *really*
lumpy but often results in sliders with dead zones (because they do not
"snap" to the hardware intervals). Looking at the gaps in the driver I'm
suspect the table is not worth the effort (the difference in the deltas
is pretty modest) but I'm happy to contradicted by someone with access
to the hardware!

Since this is a backlight, and we do not have common bindings for,
backlight I first looked into using the LED bindings in
../common.yaml, but that has several problems, it cannot really
be used for backlight. Backlight doesn't have "triggers",
patterns, flash properties, the function is also pretty much
evident.

So I will look into creating a new common for backlight.

That's a good point.

I think I will opt for this. It makes most sense given how we use the
device tree to restrict maximum brightness, and that is definitely
related to the hardware max brightness.

Thanks Daniel!

Hmm, I think I looked at leds/ when I wrote that comment about
common.yaml.

Please consider Rob's comment in commit: 44e1655a444fe7a1bd81994d34c6bbb5245b9e60
("dt-bindings: backlight: Convert common backlight bindings to DT
schema")

Rob did not see the need for a common binding - but that may change as
we add more backlight bindings.

It can't hurt. The proposal is out there, there are some drivers in
backlight that can readily be converted to use it if it is favored.
