Subject: [PATCH 2/2] leds: lp8864: Register a backlight device
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 19:08:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260817170817.1933046-3-alexander.sverdlin@siemens.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260817170817.1933046-1-alexander.sverdlin@siemens.com>
From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@siemens.com>
The LP8864/LP8866 is a display-cluster LED backlight driver. Expose a
standard backlight class interface in addition to the LED class device,
so it can be used by display/panel stacks that expect a backlight.
Use the new devm_led_backlight_register() helper, which spawns a
led-backlight device driven by our LED and tied to the I2C device
lifetime. This keeps the driver a plain LED driver, requires no
device-tree changes and remains backwards compatible with existing DTs.
It is a no-op when the led-backlight support is not enabled.
