Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] dt-bindings: backlight: gpio-backlight: allow multiple GPIOs
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 18:20:35 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260120125036.2203995-2-tessolveupstream@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260120125036.2203995-1-tessolveupstream@gmail.com>

Update the gpio-backlight binding to support configurations that require
more than one GPIO for enabling/disabling the backlight.
