Since the removal of generic_bl driver from the source tree in commit
7ecdea4a0226 ("backlight: generic_bl: Remove this driver as it is
unused") BACKLIGHT_GENERIC config option became obsolete as well and
therefore subject to clean-up from all configuration files.

This series introduces patches to address this removal, separated by
architectures in the kernel tree.

Andrey Zhizhikin (5):
  ARM: configs: drop unused BACKLIGHT_GENERIC option
  arm64: defconfig: drop unused BACKLIGHT_GENERIC option
  MIPS: configs: drop unused BACKLIGHT_GENERIC option
  parisc: configs: drop unused BACKLIGHT_GENERIC option
  powerpc/configs: drop unused BACKLIGHT_GENERIC option

You need to send it to arm-soc maintainers, otherwise no one might feel
responsible enough to pick it up.

+CC Arnd and Olof,

Dear Arnd and Olof,

Maybe it is worth to add arm-soc entry to the MAINTAINERS file?
Otherwise how one could get your email address? Not mentioning the
secret-soc address. :)

Best regards,
Krzysztof

The same trouble as with ARM patch - this should go directly via
arm-soc.

For defconfigs I expect arch maintainers to do a make xxxdefconfig / make
savedefconfig / cp defconfig ... run now and then - this will remove
all such symbols.

If the patches goes in like they are submitted then:

Good point, thanks a lot!

I was not aware of the fact that there is a separate ML that should receive patches targeted ARM SOCs. Can you (or anyone else) please share it, so I can re-send it there as well?

"scripts/get_maintainer.pl --no-git-fallback --no-multiline --no-rolestats --no-n --separator , " across entire series gave only the list of addresses that I've included in the series itself. If I would be given a arm-soc mailing list as output of the script - I would've included it as well.

This series stretches across several archs, so I would expect that it could've been addressed for some of them but would take more time than submitting this "point fix" now, targeting one obsolete config option.

I've personally hit it for arm64 on the first place, and looking further into the option itself I realized that it is missing from the kernel tree completely and decided to fix all archs affected at once.

savedefconfig can be tricky because of risk of loosing options:
1. it will remove options which became the default or became selected,
2. later when the default is changed or selecting option is removed, the
   first option from #1 will not be brought back.

This was already for example with DEBUG_FS and the conclusion that time
was - do not run savedefconfig automatically.

Therefore if some symbol(s) can be safely removed, patch is welcomed.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Thanks for letting me know, I have missed that discussion and
was obviously not aware.
I already acked'ed the patches and hope the soc people will pick them
up.

It's not a mailing list as such (with archives etc.), just an alias to
the arm-soc maintainers: arm@kernel.org.

I tried to convince them before, it didn't work. I guess they don't like
to be spammed ;). Or rather, SoC-specific patches, even to defconfig,
should go through the specific SoC maintainers. However, there are
occasional defconfig patches which are more generic or affecting
multiple SoCs. I just ignore them as the arm64 defconfig is usually
handled by the arm-soc folk (when I need a defconfig change, I go for
arch/arm64/Kconfig directly ;)).

Anyway, I still think that we should add a MAINTAINERS entry for
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig and arch/arm64/Kconfig.platforms.

The first rule of arm-soc is: you do not talk about arm@ and soc@

IIRC, the plan was indeed to get defconfig changes through the platform
sub-trees. It is also supposed to be how multi_v5 and multi_v7 are
handled and they will take care of the merge.

I don't mind having the addresses documented better, but it needs to
be done in a way that avoids having any patch for arch/arm*/boot/dts
and arch/arm/*/configs Cc:d to soc@kernel.org.

If anyone has suggestions for how to do that, let me know.

For cross-platform changes like this one, I'm definitely happy to
pick up the patch directly from soc@kernel.org, or from mailing
list if I know about it.

We usually do the merges for the soc tree in batches and rely
on patchwork to keep track of what I'm missing, so if Olof and
I are just on Cc to a mail, we might have forgotten about it
by the time we do the next merges.

Just as a proposal:
Maybe those addresses should at least be included in the Documentation ("Select the recipients for your patch" section of "Submitting patches"), much like stable@ is. Those who get themselves familiarized with it - would get an idea about which list they would need to include in Cc: for such changes.

That should IMHO partially reduce the traffic on the list since it would not pop-up in the output of get_maintainer.pl, but would at least be documented so contributors can follow the process.

Should I collect all Ack's and re-send this series including the list "nobody talks about" :), or the series can be picked up as-is?

Your advice would be really welcomed here!

Yes, please do, that makes my life easier. I would apply the patches
for arch/arm and arch/arm64 when you send them to soc@kernel.org,
the others go to the respective architecture maintainers, unless they
want me to pick up the whole series.

Not a perfect solution but something. How about:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20201201211516.24921-2-krzk@kernel.org/T/#u

Would not work on defconfigs but there is a chance someone will find
your addresses this way. Should not cause to much additional traffic.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
