[PATCH] Video: Backlight: Add a MMIO backlight driver using DT.

Martin Fuzzey mfuzzey at parkeon.com
Mon Nov 19 03:54:44 EST 2012


Some boards have very simple backlight controllers
consisting of a latch on the bus with a bunch of
resistors used as a "poor man's DAC".

Prior to the device tree such boards were supported
using generic-bl with a callback in the board file
to poke the hardware.

This driver allows such hardware to be supported
on device tree based platforms where callbacks
and board files cannot be used.

+Memory mapped IO backlight bindings
+===================================
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible : mmio-bl
+ - reg : register address and size
+
+Optional properties:
+ - reg-width : Register size in bits (default = 8 * size of reg)
+ - reg-shift : Register shift in bits (default = 0)
+ - max-brightness : Maximum brightness (defaults to all bits 1)
+ - default-brightness : Default brightness (defaults to all bits 1)
+
+The size of reg must be 1,2 or 4 bytes and is used to determine the type
+of bus access.
+
+The brightness values are silently clamped to the maximum supported by
+reg-width.
+
+Examples:
+	backlight at 1,0 {
+		compatible = "mmio-bl";
+		reg = <1 0 2>;
+	};
+	Defines a 16 bit register with max and default brightness 0xFFFF
+
+
+	backlight at 1,0 {
+		compatible = "mmio-bl";
+		reg = <1 0 1>;
+		reg-width = <6>;
+		reg-shift = <1>;
+		max-brightness = <50>;
+		default-brightness = <40>;
+	};
+	Defines a 6 bit register on D1->D7 so that
+		brightness 0 => X000000X
+		brigtness 50 => X110010X
+
+
+	backlight at 1,0 {
+		compatible = "mmio-bl";
+		reg = <1 0 1>;
+		reg-width = <6>;
+		max-brightness = <100>;
+		default-brightness = <100>;
+	};
+	Defines a 6 bit register on D0->D5 with maximum and default
+	brighntesses of 63 (since not enough bits for 100)
