Subject: [PATCH] pwm_backlight: Add device tree support for Low Threshold Brightness
Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2012 17:54:02 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1343219042-4371-1-git-send-email-avinashphilip@ti.com> (raw)
Low Threshold Brightness should be configured to have a linear relation
in brightness scale. This patch adds device tree support for low
threshold brightness as optional one for pwm_backlight.
