[Intel-gfx] T100TA Backlight

[Brain WrecK]

Hello all

I am one of the people who is trying to work on getting linux working on
the ASUS T100TA

i am writing this to inquire about the following from the intel-gfx mailing
list in regards to the Backlight for the T100TA that you created using the
crystalcove PMIC. this was done back in April 2015 and maybe got buried
under everything else

do you know if this has been upstreamed yet or when it will be upstreamed?

if not would you be able to send me the patches so we can take advantage of
this on the latest 4.1 kernel?

i have copied the message below for your review

thank you for your consideration

Hi All,
Finally I came back to this and tried to address the pending review comments.
Couple of the patches from the older series were merged in linux-next. This
series reworks on the remaining and rebases on linux-next. Basically following
are implemented -

1. GPIO control for panel enable/disable with GFX device as consumer
2. New PWM chip driver added for CRC PMIC based backlight control
3. i915 is modified to use the CRC gpio chip and the CRC PWM chip to do
   backlight control. This is now added in intel_panel.c in the generic
   panel backlight control infrastructure

All these patches have been tested on AsusT100 and working fine using
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight interface.

Recently I noticed another device Dell Venue 8 Pro (BYT-CR) which should be
using LPSS backlight control. There is already a LPSS PWM chip driver in
upstream kernel which should be used in this case. That patch is for another
day.
