Hi all.

Follow-up on v4 - with only a few changes listed below and
in the individual patches.
Thanks for all the reviews and the feedback on the patches!

I am planning a follow-up on this patchset to update the
backlight drivers all over to use backlight_get_brightness()
and backlight_is_blank() as appropriate.

v5:
  - Added r-b's
  - Updated cr_bllcd to use gpio-backlight semantics
  - Various editorial updates to changelogs
  - Rebased on top of Lee's backlight tree
  - Dropped "make of_find_backlight_by_node() static"
    The change depends on drm-misc-next.
    Will be re-send when the changes hits the backlight tree
    (We could have done this in other ways, but it is easier to just wait)

v4:
  - Introduced backlight_get_brightness based on feedback from Emil.
  - Properly described the rationale behind more restrictive locking use
    I checked that locking was not used outside backlight core
    by renaming the lock fields.
    As it is not used seems OK to restrict use to the core.
  - Introducing backlight_get_brightness invalidated
    some patches and I did a bit finer split to ease review.
  - Added acks
  - A few small adjustments documented in the individual patches

v3:
  - Dropped video patch that was reviewd and thus applied
  - Updated kernel-doc so all fields now have a short intro
  - Improved readability in a lot of places, thanks to review
    feedback from Daniel - thanks!
  - Added better intro to backlight
  - Added acks

    Several other smaller changes documented in the
    patches.
    I left out patches to make functions static as
    there are dependencies to drm-misc-next for these.

v2:
  - Dropped drm patches that was reviewed and thus applied (Thanks Tomi)
  - Updated backligth_is_blank() based on Daniel's feedback
  - Dropped EXPORT_SYMBOL that was no longer relevant
  - Reordered patches, so patches with no external
    dependencies comes first
  - Updated the description that follows.

The following series touches a lot of backlight things.

Starts with a small refactoring in backligth.c to remove some indents.
This increases the readability and no functional changes.

Then two new helpers backlight_is_blank(), backlight_get_brightness()
are added. These helpers simplifies the implementation of update_status()
in the backlight drivers where they are used.

Then while surfing the code I missed some documentation.
So I got a bit carried away and updated the documentation
for the backlight core and added it to kernel-doc.
The documentation express my current understanding.
Everything from spelling errors to outright wrong content
shall be anticipated - so please review!
We are all best helped if the documentation is correct
and up-to-date and it is readable.

In this process I identified that the backlight_bl driver
was no longer in use - so drop it.

Everything builds, but so far no run-time testing.

        Sam
