Since we're about to implement eDP backlight support in nouveau using the standard protocol from VESA, we might as well just take the code that's already written for this and move it into a set of shared DRM helpers. Note that these helpers are intended to handle DPCD related backlight control bits such as setting the brightness level over AUX, probing the backlight's TCON, enabling/disabling the backlight over AUX if supported, etc. Any PWM-related portions of backlight control are explicitly left up to the driver, as these will vary from platform to platform. The only exception to this is the calculation of the PWM frequency pre-divider value. This is because the only platform-specific information required for this is the PWM frequency of the panel, which the driver is expected to provide if available. The actual algorithm for calculating this value is standard and is defined in the eDP specification from VESA. Note that these helpers do not yet implement the full range of features the VESA backlight interface provides, and only provide the following functionality (all of which was already present in i915's DPCD backlight support): * Basic control of brightness levels * Basic probing of backlight capabilities * Helpers for enabling and disabling the backlight v3: * Split out changes to i915's backlight code to separate patches to make it easier to review v4: * Style/spelling changes from Thomas Zimmermann v5: * Start using new drm_dbg_*() functions Signed-off-by: Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com> Cc: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Cc: Dave Airlie <airlied@gmail.com> Cc: greg.depoire@gmail.com Reviewed-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210514181504.565252-9-lyude@redhat.com |
