This will conflict with a similar patch I have in drm-intel-next to unify the various bits of code that were attempting to modify the BLC PWM, each in their own unique fashion. I'll respin this native interface on top of that. Do you want to add a native RAW interface all in one go, or to base it on the current backlight_device and then to add the RAW property with this patch set? -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Chris Wilson Subject: Re: [PATCH] i915: Add native backlight control Date: Thu, 09 Sep 2010 18:09:40 +0100 Message-ID: <8u3s94$gfdh5f@orsmga002.jf.intel.com> References: <1283963539-4039-1-git-send-email-mjg@redhat.com> <1283963539-4039-2-git-send-email-mjg@redhat.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Received: from mga09.intel.com (mga09.intel.com [134.134.136.24]) by gabe.freedesktop.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B1BA79E76B for ; Thu, 9 Sep 2010 10:09:44 -0700 (PDT) In-Reply-To: <1283963539-4039-2-git-send-email-mjg@redhat.com> List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: intel-gfx-bounces+gcfxdi-intel-gfx=m.gmane.org@lists.freedesktop.org Errors-To: intel-gfx-bounces+gcfxdi-intel-gfx=m.gmane.org@lists.freedesktop.org To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: intel-gfx , Matthew Garrett List-Id: intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org On Wed, 8 Sep 2010 12:32:18 -0400, Matthew Garrett wrote: > Not all systems expose a firmware or platform mechanism for changing the > backlight intensity on i915, so add native driver support.
