The goal is to make -those drivers as simple as possible, so lots of room for refactoring: - -- 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. Backlight helpers require a fair - bit of reworking and refactoring. A simple example is the enabling of a backlight. - Tinydrm has helpers for this. It would be good if other drivers can also use the - helper. However, there are various cases we need to consider i.e different - drivers seem to have different ways of enabling/disabling a backlight. - We also need to consider the backlight drivers (like gpio_backlight). The situation - is further complicated by the fact that the backlight is tied to fbdev - via fb_notifier_callback() which has complicated logic. For further details, refer - to the following discussion thread: - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/outreachy-kernel/8rBe30lwtdA - -- spi helpers, probably best put into spi core/helper code. Thierry said - the spi maintainer is fast&reactive, so shouldn't be a big issue. - -- extract the mipi-dbi helper (well, the non-tinydrm specific parts at - least) into a separate helper, like we have for mipi-dsi already. Or follow - one of the ideas for having a shared dsi/dbi helper, abstracting away the - transport details more. - -Contact: Noralf Trønnes, Daniel Vetter - AMD DC Display Driver --------------------- |
