[PATCH] Platform: Samsung Q10 backlight driver

From: Frederick van der Wyck
Date: Wed Feb 16 2011 - 18:29:26 EST


This adds backlight control on the Samsung Q10 laptop, which does not support
the SABI interface. Also tested successfully on the Dell Latitude X200.

The Samsung Q10 is an old model, which does not support the SABI interface, so
the samsung-laptop driver does not work. Backlight control is not exposed via
ACPI either. This driver works in the same way as the SMI handler triggered by
pressing the brightness function keys. Please let me know any feedback towards
getting this driver included.
