As I mentioned in my last review, I don't think we need this function.

Sorry for the follow-up spam, but are you missing the put_device somewhere? The
next patch uses devm_of_find_backlight. So AFAICT you're either leaking a reference
here, or you're closing an additional reference in the next patch.

Just to check... some DRM drivers do allow themselves to work if 
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE isn't enabled (as discussed earlier in the 
thread ;-). Did you consider what happens when this happens.

Wrapped up with backlight_put() we are sure never to accidentally 
dereference bd in DRM de-init paths when CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICVE 
if it is not set. With a raw put_device() all that conditional logic 
ends up on the driver.

Thanks for pointing that out, definitely a fair point. 

I don't really mind putting the NULL check in the driver code. The return
values of of_find_backlight are well documented, so it shouldn't be too much
of a problem.

That said, this is your rodeo, so if you prefer to supply the put helper, that's
A-Ok with me.

Well... I don't want to add something with no callers... but if 
something else in the patch set (or near future) uses it then I'm 
certainly happy to have it!

Is there anything else that needs to be done for this patch ? If not,
and it is ready, can this be acked ? It seems to have been stuck for
some time now and I will definitely fix anything that needs to be fixed
in this patch ASAP.

I've lost track a little but have two questions:

1. Is there any pending feedback? If not a resend might be sensible.

2. Which maintainers are you expecting to pick up the patch? It looks to
    me like lots of people are be missing from the To: fields (compared
    to what I think get_maintainer.pl would give you) meaning the patches
    won't get picked up.

I'm a bit confused since the individual patches are touching both the
drm and backlight subsystem. Will this be merged through drm?
I'd expect one patch to add the backlight stuff in that subsystem
and then some to do the drm side.

Is the reason possibly because we have omitted error checking on the
return value of backlight_enable function ? tinydrm_enable_backlight and
tinydrm_disable_baclight do this. 
Eg.
ret = backlight_update_status(backlight);
if (ret)
	DRM_ERROR("Failed to enable backlight %d\n", ret);

I'm not sure, just asking whether this could be a possible reason
for the above trace.

Meghana

The crash happens during probe.
I guess you'll figure this out when you get some hw to test on.

of_find_backlight() can return an error pointer (-EPROBE_DEFER):

That solved the crash, but the backlight didn't turn on.
I had to do this as well:

This is my backlight node[1]:

backlight: backlight {
     compatible = "gpio-backlight";
     gpios = <&gpio 18 0>; // GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH
};

Not certain that this is the "correct" solution, but I can't use the
gpio-backlight property default-on, because that would turn on backlight
before the pipeline is enabled.

You can dry-run the driver without a panel connected, it can work
without being able to read from the controller.

No, this is wrong, it should happen on probe, not every time it's enabled.
So maybe it should be done in of_find_backlight() or something.
I see that I'm currently doing it in tinydrm_of_find_backlight().

I'm not happy with this brightness hack of mine really.

Since I last looked at this I see that pwm_bl has gained the ability to
start in a power off state (pwm_backlight_initial_power_state()).
However the gpio_backlight driver doesn't do this. gpio_backlight has a
'default-on' property, but the problem is that it sets brightness, not
power state. So the absense of the property sets brightness to zero,
which makes the driver turn off backlight on probe. This seems to be
fine, but then systemd-backlight comes along and restores brightness
to 1, since that's what it was on shutdown. This turns on backlight and
now I have a glaring white uninitialized panel waiting for the display
driver to set it up.

This patch would solve my problem:

diff --git a/drivers/video/backlight/gpio_backlight.c 
b/drivers/video/backlight/gpio_backlight.c
index e470da95d806..54bb722e1ea3 100644
--- a/drivers/video/backlight/gpio_backlight.c
+++ b/drivers/video/backlight/gpio_backlight.c
@@ -142,7 +142,8 @@ static int gpio_backlight_probe(struct 
platform_device *pdev)
                 return PTR_ERR(bl);
         }

-       bl->props.brightness = gbl->def_value;
+       bl->props.brightness = 1;
+       bl->props.state = gbl->def_value ? 0 : BL_CORE_FBBLANK;
         backlight_update_status(bl);

         platform_set_drvdata(pdev, bl);

The problem is that this will most likely break 2 in-kernel users of
gpio-backlight which doesn't set the 'default-on' property:
   arch/arm/boot/dts/omap4-var-dvk-om44.dts
   arm/boot/dts/imx27-eukrea-mbimxsd27-baseboard.dts

AFAICT they rely on systemd-backlight to turn on backlight by setting
brightness to 1.

So maybe my hack is _the_ soulution after all, but I'm no expert on
the backlight subsystem and it's corner cases.

Can we fix the dts instead?

Untangling the on/off vs brightness mess definitely sounds like a good
idea, especially since some backlights have a minimal brightness (which
doesn't match to off), because too low screws up the backlight and
destroys the panel.

Isn't Device Tree ABI, ie. new kernels should work backwards with
existing dtb's? We will break that contract if we change gpio_backlight
like I proposed.
Another solution is to add a new DT property: 'default-off':

Optional properties:
   - default-on: enable the backlight at boot.
   - default-off: disable the backlight at boot by setting backlight in 
power
     state off with brightness set to one.

Not sure how well that will fly with Rob, it smells like a hack.

It's only a regression if someone reports a bug :-)

tbh if we indeed go with "we can't touch this, it's baked in", which
feels a bit silly, then default-off is the only reasonable thing to do
really. At least for gpio-backlight, since atm the current
implementation boils down to default-on == nothing. Or we just say the
kernel doesn't follow the spec and fix it. I guess this is up to dt
maintainers to decide.

I have tried the pwm backlight driver (pwm_bl) and it behaves as it
should and systemd-backlight does it's job of preserving brightness
across reboots without lighting up the display.

So it would be nice to have gpio_backlight adhere to the same rules.

I have a few questions here.

So if I understood the problem correctly, you do not want the backlight
brightness set to 1 by systemd-backlight because it sets the backlight
on before the display driver is set up. My question is, how does pwm_bl
avoid this ? Even if it starts off in a power off state, won't the same
thing happen i.e won't systemd set the brightness and subsequently turn
on the backlight ?

Also, I didn't understand your patch. What does gbl->def_value specify?
bl->props.state represents the power state right ? Is your patch setting
it to 0 prevent systemd-backlight from kicking in because we are dealing
with the power property and not the brightness property ?

I was trying to understand some of the functions in gpio_backlight.c and
was confused about one more thing. What is the difference between
gpio_backlight_probe and gpio_backlight_probe_dt ?

I am also a little confused about how gpio backlight and pwm backlight
are separate/different (because both would require the gpio pins). 
Is there any documentation here which I could refer to? 

Thanks and regards,
Meghana

Look at the update_status implementation in both drivers and you'll see
that if blanking is active, they use a value of zero for brightness.

pwm_bl can set the blanking/power state during probe and still have a
default brightness which will be used when leaving the power off state.
gpio_backlight can only set the default brightness level during probe, not
the power state.

It is confusing that the backlight subsystem has so many ways to control
power state (props power/fb_blank/state).

In the current implementation it specifies brightness. I would like this to
determine power state instead.

systemd sets brightness only, it doesn't affect the power state. So if
the state is off, changing the brightness doesn't affect the current output.

There are often two ways of configuring a device in Linux, from Device Tree
or platform data (legacy). This driver supports both. If the
platform_device is created from Device Tree, of_node is set and that's
where the driver looks for info.

+1 to that.

Of the 2 properties, default-off actually makes more sense to me.
Ideally, we'd have no property for the *default*, common case and a
property only for the exception. I'd think on would be the common case
because what kind of device with a builtin display do you not want to
turn it on on boot. Really, controlling this at the backlight level
seems like the wrong level. The backlight should just follow the
display state.

I don't really have an issue adding this property, but adding a
property doesn't help you here. You have to not break a new kernel
working with an older dtb.
