[PATCH v4 0/3] Apple DWI backlight driver

[PATCH v4 0/3] Apple DWI backlight driver

[Nick Chan]

Apple SoCs come with a 2-wire interface named DWI. On some iPhones, iPads
and iPod touches the backlight controller is connected via this interface.
This series adds a backlight driver for backlight controllers connected
this way.

Changes since v3:
- $ref to common.yaml in bindings
- (and then additionalProperties is changed to unevaluatedProperties)
- Use hex everywhere in bindings example
- Use sizeof(*dwi_bl) instead of the type of the struct when doing
devm_kzalloc()
- Use devm_platform_get_and_ioremap_resource() in driver
- Fix sorting in drivers/video/backlight/Makefile
- In drivers/video/backlight/Kconfig, move config to right after
BACKLIGHT_APPLE
- Explain this driver being completely different from apple_bl

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/asahi/20241209075908.140014-1-towinchenmi@gmail.com/T

Changes since v2:
- Add missing includes in driver
- Fix file path in MAINTAINERS

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/asahi/20241207130433.30351-1-towinchenmi@gmail.com/T

Changes since v1:
- Fixed dt-bindings $id.
- Make power-domains an optional property in dt-bindings.
- Added missing error checking after devm_ioremap_resource() in
dwi_bl_probe().

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/asahi/20241206172735.4310-1-towinchenmi@gmail.com/T

[PATCH v4 2/3] backlight: dwi_bl: Add Apple DWI backlight driver

[Nick Chan]

Add driver for backlight controllers attached via Apple DWI 2-wire
interface, which is found on some Apple iPhones, iPads and iPod touches
with a LCD display.

Although there is an existing apple_bl driver, it is for backlight
controllers on Intel Macs attached via PCI, which is completely different
from the Samsung-derived DWI block.

I'd rather this was called apple_dwi_bl.c to match that config options,
etc.

There should be something to indicate whether the backlight controls are
linear or logarithmic here.

Again, I'd rather see apple here too (although, to be clear, I'm
perfectly happy with all the static functions and variables being
prefixed only with dwi_bl).

Still trying to determine the type of the backlight control, I think it is linear however and I will send a new
version when I am more certain.

Alright, I will rename the file and and the name of the driver to have apple, the functions
and variables will still not have apple though to not make the lines too long.

If you've got an physicalinstance of the backlight then you can get a
general idea by comparing levels: 512, 1024, 1536 and 2047.

A linear backlight will feel make the gaps feel uneven (e.g. the
difference between 1536 and 2047 will look very different to the
difference difference between 512 and 1024). A logarithmic backligt
will make the perceived brightness intervals between the above all
feel pretty similar.
