Subject: [PATCH v1 0/2] backlight: gpio-backlight: Add support for multiple GPIOs
Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2026 14:21:18 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260105085120.230862-1-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 1 or 2
GPIOs for a backlight node.
This approach avoids describing multiple backlight devices in DT for a
single panel.
Thanks,
Anusha
