[PATCH v7 2/3] pwm_backlight: use power sequences

From: Alexandre Courbot
Date: Fri Oct 19 2012 - 05:05:43 EST


Make use of the power sequences specified in the device tree or platform
data to control how the backlight is powered on and off.

Optional properties:
- pwm-names: a list of names for the PWM devices specified in the
"pwms" property (see PWM binding[0])
+ - low-threshold-brightness: brightness threshold low level. Sets the lowest
+ brightness value.
+ On some panels the backlight misbehaves if the duty cycle percentage of the
+ PWM wave is less than a certain level (say 20%). In this example the user
+ can set low-threshold-brightness to a value above 50 (ie, 20% of 255), thus
+ preventing the PWM duty cycle from going too low.
+ On setting low-threshold-brightness the range of brightness levels is
+ calculated in the range low-threshold-brightness to the maximum value in
+ brightness-levels, described above.
+ - pwm-names: name for the PWM device specified in the "pwms" property (see PWM
+ binding[0]). Necessary if power sequences are used
+ - power-sequences: Power sequences (see Power sequences[1]) used to bring the
+ backlight on and off. If this property is present, then two power
+ sequences named "power-on" and "power-off" must be defined to control how
+ the backlight is to be powered on and off. These sequences must reference
+ the PWM specified in the pwms property by its name, and can also reference
+ other resources supported by the power sequences mechanism

Example:

backlight {

-
brightness-levels = <0 4 8 16 32 64 128 255>;

+ low-threshold-brightness = <50>;
+
+ /* resources used by the power sequences */
+ pwms = <&pwm 0 5000000>;
+ pwm-names = "backlight";
+ power-supply = <&backlight_reg>;
+
+ power-sequences {
