Hi Meghana,

Move backlight helpers from tinydrm-helpers.c to
tinydrm-backlight.c. This is because it is organizationally
simpler to understand and advantageous to group functions
performing a similar function to a separate file as opposed to
having one helper file with heteregenous helper functions.

I don't think there is much gain in just moving the code like this.

The idea is to add a drm_backlight helper that can be useful for all
DRM drivers that use the backlight subsystem.
Yes I agree. That definitely makes more sense.
The full path to that helper would be:
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_backlight.c

This is what the TODO says:
https://dri.freedesktop.org/docs/drm/gpu/todo.html#tinydrm

- backlight helpers, probably best to put them into a new drm_backlight.c.
   This is because drivers/video is de-facto unmaintained. We could also
   move drivers/video/backlight to drivers/gpu/backlight and take it all
   over within drm-misc, but that’s more work.

There is also this discussion to take into account:
KMS backlight ABI proposition
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2017-February/133206.html


I don't remember what came out of that discussion.

Noralf.
After having discussed this with Daniel on the #dri-devel irc channel,
here are some of the points suggested.

Daniel suggested that I first look into the usage of shared backlight
helpers in drm (specifically backlight_update_status to begin with). The idea
was to see whether there is any pattern in usage and/or code dupication.
If there is, then the next step would be to write helper functions which
can be used by other drivers (and not just tinydrm).

To start with, I went through the instances of backlight_update_status
in the drm code, and made the following observations(most of them are
very simple/naive observations).

- backlight_update_status is usually called in backlight init (and
   sometimes exit) functions of the drivers just after the device is registered.
   So backlight_update_status is called with the registered device as the
   parameter.

Here are the following cases of properties changed/set before
backlight_update_status is called.

- CASE 1: Brightness is changed (either a macro BRIGHTNESS_MAX_LEVEL 100
   is defined or it is manually set) This happens in the following files:

   gma500/cdv_device.c, gma500/mdfld_device.c, gma500/oaktrail_device.c,
   gma500/psb_device.c, noveau/noveau_backlight.c(here brightness is determined 
by fuction
   static int nv50_get_intensity)

- CASE 2: Power property is set (to FB_BLANK_UNBLANK mostly)
   This happens in the following files:

   omapdrm/displays/panel-dpi.c, panel/panel-innolux-p079zca.c,
   panel/panel-jdi-lt070me05000.c, panel/panel-sharp-lq101r1sx01.c,
   panel/panel-sharp-ls043t1le01.c, tilcdc/tilcdc_panel.c
- CASE 3: State is set
   This happens in the following files:

   tinydrm/tinydrm-helpers.c

- CASE 4: Power and brightness properties are set
   This happens in the following files:

   atombios_encoders.c, radeon/radeon_legacy_encoders.c,
   shmobile/shmob_drm_backlight.c

- CASE 5: Power and the state properties are set
   This happens in the following files:

   panel/panel-lvds.c, panel/panel-panasonic-vvx10f034n00.c,
   panel/panel-simple.c, panel/panel-sitronix-st7789v.c

Please let me know if I am wrong / missed something. As for next steps,
wouldn't it be an overkill to have a separate helper function for each
of these cases ? Perhaps a generic helper function which would somehow
address these cases would be more appropriate ? Thank you for your
time/patience.
I suspect that a lot of these combinations are just plain wrong, but
happen to kinda work with the combination of gpu driver and backlight
driver they're used on. tbh I have no idea which one is the correct
version for enabling a backlight correctly ...

So definitely a good task to refactor this into a proper helper, but looks
a lot more involved than at first sight.

Backlight is tricky.

One annoying thing from a DRM point of view is that it's tied to fbdev
with a notifier fb_notifier_callback() that turns it off on
FB_EVENT_BLANK and FB_EVENT_CONBLANK. And the logic in that function is
very convoluted.

And if we look at the gpio backlight driver, we see that there are
3 properties that turn off the backlight:

static int gpio_backlight_update_status(struct backlight_device *bl)
{
    struct gpio_backlight *gbl = bl_get_data(bl);
    int brightness = bl->props.brightness;

    if (bl->props.power != FB_BLANK_UNBLANK ||
        bl->props.fb_blank != FB_BLANK_UNBLANK ||
        bl->props.state & (BL_CORE_SUSPENDED | BL_CORE_FBBLANK))
        brightness = 0;

    gpiod_set_value_cansleep(gbl->gpiod, brightness);

    return 0;
}

This may account for the different ways of controlling backlight in DRM.

Some other aspects:
- The backlight device has it's own suspend/resume functions.
- systemd tries to be smart and turn on/off backlight, but that is just
  annoying with tinydrm drivers that are loaded late since it turns on
  an uninitialized display. Disabling the service fixes it.

Noralf.

Do you have any of the hardware supported by any of these drivers? lsmod
and then comparing with the modules you're building in your own tree
should help you figure this out.
