+/* Notes on locking:
+ *
+ * lcd_device->ops_lock is an internal backlight lock protecting the ops
+ * field and no code outside the core should need to touch it.
+ *
+ * Access to set_power() is serialised by the update_lock mutex since
+ * most drivers seem to need this and historically get it wrong.
+ *
+ * Most drivers don't need locking on their get_power() method.
+ * If yours does, you need to implement it in the driver. You can use the
+ * update_lock mutex if appropriate.
+ *
+ * Any other use of the locks below is probably wrong.
