Hi!

It would be good to get LED backlight to work in clean way for 5.6
kernel.

As far as I can see, these are neccessary (but not enough; it does not
work for me): lm3532 changes to register LED with of node, plus device
tree changes for droid 4, and these generic changes:

    backlight: add led-backlight driver
    
    This patch adds a led-backlight driver (led_bl), which is similar to
    pwm_bl except the driver uses a LED class driver to adjust the
    brightness in the HW. Multiple LEDs can be used for a single backlight.

    This patch adds basic support for a kernel driver to get a LED device.
    This will be used by the led-backlight driver.

[If you have an idea what else is needed, it would be welcome; it
works for me in development tree but not in tree I'd like to
upstream.]

Lee, would you be willing to take "backlight: add led-backlight
driver"? Would it help if I got "leds: Add managed API to get a LED
from a device driver" and "leds: Add of_led_get() and led_put()" into
for_next tree of the LED subsystem?

It is kind of important as, well, phone without screen looks pretty
much dead, and same issue hits Droid 4 and Librem 5 phones at least...

I agree, this is badly needed for many devices.

I have some version of these patches working with modified dts in my
droid4-pending-v5.4 branch git branch, maybe try to diff against that.

Tony

So.. backlight now works for me, and I put the LED parts of the
patches to

gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pavel/linux-leds.git for-next

tree. [I guess I could try to sneak them into 5.5 if that helps.]

Could we somehow get this to the backlight tree?

It looks like you have an open question from Tony on v10.

Is that patch orthogonal, or are there depend{ants,encies}?

Uhh looks like we messed up a bit with integration. Now droid4
LCD backlight can no longer be enabled at all manually in v5.6-rc1
without the "add led-backlight driver" patch.. Should we just
merge it to fix it rather than start scrambling with other
temporary hacks?

I don't care if we use "default-brightness", or if we use
"default-brightness-level". The binding merged says now
"default-brightness", so let's go with that one. That's what
other LED drivers are using too.

Regards,

Tony

We should just merge the "add led-backlight driver". Everything should
be ready for it. I'm sorry if I broke something working, I was not
aware it worked at all.

Unfortunately, this is backlight code, not LED, so I can't just merge it.

No opinion on that.

OK best to merge the driver via the LED tree:

Is the patch below the one both of you are talking about?

Hmm. I should s/default-brightness-level/default-brightness/
below.

Lee, I can of course take it (thanks), but won't Kconfig/Makefile
pieces cause rejects? It might be still better if you took it. I can
hand-edit it and submit it in form for easy application... tommorow.

Best regards,

commit 81a2daadf8dd6c8e0cbc3b60246932436be3c714
Author: Tomi Valkeinen <tomi.valkeinen@ti.com>

    backlight: add led-backlight driver
    
    This patch adds a led-backlight driver (led_bl), which is similar to
    pwm_bl except the driver uses a LED class driver to adjust the
    brightness in the HW. Multiple LEDs can be used for a single backlight.

My suggestion would be to send it to Linus ASAP.

Ideally it would get into the -rcs, as it 'fixes' things.
