Subject: [PATCH v6 07/10] drm/amd/display: use drm backlight
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 09:57:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260624165751.2014759-8-mario.limonciello@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260624165751.2014759-1-mario.limonciello@amd.com>
From: "Mario Limonciello (AMD)" <superm1@kernel.org>
Convert AMD display driver to use the new DRM backlight infrastructure.
This allows brightness control via DRM connector properties.
Includes fixes for backlight resource lifecycle management.
Signed-off-by: Mario Limonciello (AMD) <superm1@kernel.org>
