The backlight is on for fb_blank eq FB_BLANK_UNBLANK, or off for any other value in fb_blank. But the field fb_blank in struct backlight_properties is deprecated and should not be used any longer. Replace the test for fb_blank in omap's backlight code with a simple boolean parameter and push the test into the update_status helper. Instead of reading fb_blank directly, decode the backlight device's status with backlight_is_blank(). Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>My biased opinion is that the approach in this patch is a little bit better: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230107-sam-video-backlight-drop-fb_blank-v1-13-1bd9bafb351f@ravnborg.org/ (local) I never came around resending this series it seems.
Oh, that series has been around for over a year. I don't care about which patches go in as long as they remove the dependency on <linux/fb.h>. I saw that Dan has already r-b'ed the current patchset, but if you prefer I'll adopt yours. Best regards Thomas
