Expanded significantly in the associated thread, right? https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7293991/ Also still relevant is whether the LED device is being correctly modelled if the act of turning on the LED doesn't, in fact, turn the LED on. Is it *really* a correct implementation of an LED device that setting it to LED_FULL using sysfs doesn't cause it to light up? Actually there is another area where I think an LED backlight should perhaps be held to a higher standard than a PWM backlight and that is handling backlights composed of multiple LEDs. Using the TLC591xx examples from the thread above... these are multi-channel (8 or 16) LED controllers and I don't think its speculative to assume that a backlight could constructed using one of these could require multiple LEDs.
