backlight: Rework backlight/fb interaction simplifying, lots

2007-02-20T08:38:46Z

fb_info->bl_mutex is badly thought out and the backlight class doesn't need it if the framebuffer/backlight register/unregister order is consistent, particularly after the backlight locking fixes. Fix the drivers to use the order: backlight_device_register() register_framebuffer() unregister_framebuffer() backlight_device_unregister() and turn bl_mutex into a lock for the bl_curve data only.

backlight/fbcon: Add FB_EVENT_CONBLANK

2007-02-20T08:38:45Z

The backlight class wants notification whenever the console is blanked but doesn't get this when hardware blanking fails and software blanking is used. Changing FB_EVENT_BLANK to report both would be a behaviour change which could confuse the console layer so add a new event for software blanking and have the backlight class listen for both.

[PATCH] fbdev driver for S3 Trio/Virge

2007-02-12T17:48:41Z

Add a driver for S3 Trio / S3 Virge. Driver is tested with most versions of S3 Trio and with S3 Virge/DX, on i386. (akpm: We kind-of have support for this hardware already, but... virgefb.c - amiga/zorro specific, - broken (according to Kconfig), - uses obsolete/nonexistent interface (struct display_switch) - recent Adrian Bunk's patch removes this driver S3triofb.c - ppc/openfirmware specific - minimal functionality - broken (according to Kconfig), - uses obsolete/nonexistent interface (struct display_switch) ) Signed-off-by: Ondrej Zajicek Cc: James Simmons Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] fbcmap.c: mark structs const or __read_mostly

2006-12-08T16:29:05Z

- Mark the default colormaps read-only, as nobody should be allowed to modify them - Additionally mark color values as __read_mostly since they will only be modified (very seldom) by fb_invert_cmaps() - Add named C99-initializers in fb_cmap structs and use the ARRAY_SIZE() macro Signed-off-by: Helge Deller Acked-by: James Simmons Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Driver core: convert fb code to use struct device

2006-12-01T22:52:00Z

Converts from using struct "class_device" to "struct device" making everything show up properly in /sys/devices/ with symlinks from the /sys/class directory. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] fbdev: Honor the return value of device_create_file

2006-10-03T15:04:10Z

Check the return value of device_create_file(). If return is 'fail', remove attributes by calling device_remove_file(). Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] fbdev: Add generic ddc read functionality

2006-10-03T15:04:09Z

Adds functionality to read the EDID information over the DDC bus in a generic way. This code is based on the DDC implementation in the radeon driver. [adaplas] - separate from fbmon.c and place in new file fb_ddc.c - remove dependency to CONFIG_I2C and CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT, otherwise, feature will not compile if i2c support is compiled as a module - feature is selectable only by drivers needing it. It must have a 'select FB_DDC if xxx' in Kconfig - change printk's to dev_*, the i2c people prefers it Signed-off-by: Dennis Munsie Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] fbdev: include backlight.h only when KERNEL is defined

2006-08-14T19:54:29Z

linux/backlight.h pulls in header files (eg. ioport.h) that break compilation of userspace programs. To solve the problem, only include backlight.h in fb.h if compiling kernel stuff.
