--- Comment #38 from Jani Nikula <jani.nikula at intel.com> ---
This bug is about PMIC backlight control. The code to support this, both on BYT
and CHV, has been upstream for a while now, so I'm closing the bug. Thanks for
the report.

There still remains the issue with probe ordering: if i915 gets probed before
all the related pmic/i2c drivers, pwm_get() fails as described in comment #32.
If you want to file a new bug for that, I don't mind.

As a workaround, these config options worked for me on Surface 3 PMIC
backlight:

CONFIG_PWM=y
CONFIG_PWM_CRC=y
CONFIG_I2C_DESIGNWARE_PLATFORM=y
CONFIG_I2C_DESIGNWARE_PCI=y
CONFIG_INTEL_SOC_PMIC=y
CONFIG_DRM_I915=m
