[PATCH v2 0/3] backlight: document sysfs interfaces

From: Aishwarya Pant <hidden>
Date: 2018-02-06 07:38:41

Patchset contains documentation of the sysfs interfaces for the
following five backlight drivers-
1) lm3639
2) adp5520
3) adp8860

It was compiled from data sheets, reading code and git history logs. In v2 of
the patches, documentation for lp8788 and lp855x devices was dropped as the
attributes contained debug information.

Aishwarya Pant (3):
  backlight: lm3639: document sysfs attributes
  backlight: adp5520: document sysfs attributes
  backlight: adp8860: document sysfs attributes

I've applied the set to the docs tree, thanks.
