Subject: [RFC] clean up headers for light drivers : backlights, leds and
 iio-light

I'd like to suggest some clean up idea for headers under include/linux.
Light device drivers are exist under 'drivers/leds' and 'drivers/video/backlight'.
(and iio light drivers are ongoing in staging directory)
At this moment, there is no specific directory for light driver, some headers are located in include/linux.
Furthermore, new light drivers may be added into include/linux again and again.

So my suggestion is 

- create new directory for light driver : include/linux/light
- move driver headers into this directory
- change header declaration per each driver source

Here is the cleanup list of light drivers.

(leds and backlight)
include/linux/apple_bl.h
include/linux/atmel_pwm.h
include/linux/backlight.h
include/linux/led-lm3530.h
include/linux/leds-bd2802.h
include/linux/leds.h
include/linux/leds-lm3556.h
include/linux/leds-lp3944.h
include/linux/leds-lp5521.h
include/linux/leds-lp5523.h
include/linux/leds-pca9532.h
include/linux/leds_pwm.h
include/linux/leds-regulator.h
include/linux/leds-tca6507.h
include/linux/lp855x.h
include/linux/pwm_backlight.h

(iio/backlight)
drivers/staging/iio/light/tsl2563.h
drivers/staging/iio/light/tsl2x7x.h

I'd like to have your opinion.

Thanks & BR
Milo -
