Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] backlight: gpio: add support for multiple GPIOs for backlight control
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 18:20:34 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260120125036.2203995-1-tessolveupstream@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all,
This patch extends the gpio-backlight driver and its Device Tree
bindings to support multiple GPIOs for controlling a single
backlight device.
Some panels require more than one GPIO to enable or disable the
backlight, and previously the driver only supported a single GPIO.
With this change:
- The driver now handles an array of GPIOs and updates all of them
based on brightness state.
- The Device Tree binding has been updated to allow specifying one
or more GPIOs for a gpio-backlight node.
This approach avoids describing multiple backlight devices in DT for a
single panel.
Changes in v2:
- Used devm_gpiod_get_array() and struct gpio_descs
- Replaced per-index GPIO handling with descriptor array access
- Moved the bitmap allocation to probe using devm_kcalloc().
- Updated commit messages.
Thanks,
Anusha
