HI Thomas, ...

Remove the field fb_blank from struct backlight_properties and remove all code that still sets or reads it. Backlight blank status is now tracked exclusively in struct backlight_properties.state. The core backlight code keeps the fb_blank and state fields in sync, but doesn't do anything else with fb_blank. Several drivers initialize fb_blank to FB_BLANK_UNBLANK to enable the backlight. This is already the default for the state field. So we can delete the fb_blank code from core and drivers and rely on the state field.

Can you explain what are the differences between the version 1 and version2 of the patch? There are none. It's simply labeled v2 because it is part of the version 2 of this series.
... Ah, ok. Sorry for my question, but having received only this email from the series, I didn't understand why version two. It's all clear now! Best regards, Flavio
