Another example, support for which should be coming shortly, is the LED driver provided by the WM8350: this is a PMIC capable of producing outputs to drive LEDs, potentially strings of very bright LEDs. This is frequently used to illuminate displays but the actual function depends entirely on how the system has been wired up. The implementation is identical no matter what the LEDs are doing but the current out of tree drivers have two drivers for this bit of the hardware, one for use in the normal LED case and one for when used as a backlight, which is redundnant. With the driver Rodolfo has written this should no longer be required and the backlight trigger can be used to share the hardware interface code. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
