What is the purpose of w1 driver(/driver/w1).

[InKi Dae]

I'm trying to implement backlight driver that it uses single-wired
interface based on gpio.
for this, I found single-wired interface driver in /driver/w1

is it the driver for network protocol using single-wired interface?
otherwise could it be used commonly like backlight device ?

Thank you.
