The tinydrm code seems like absolute pure shit that has never seen a compiler.

I'm upset, because I expect better quality control. In fact, I expect
*some* qualitty control, and this piece-of-shit driver has clearly
seen none at all.

And those patches were apparently committed yesterday.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?

I get tons and tons of lines of warnings:

  drivers/gpu/drm/tinydrm/mipi-dbi.c: In function âmipi_dbi_typec1_commandâ:
  drivers/gpu/drm/tinydrm/mipi-dbi.c:65:20: warning: field width
specifier â*â expects argument of type âintâ, but argument 5 has type
âsize_t {aka long unsigned int}â [-Wformat=]
     DRM_DEBUG_DRIVER("cmd=%02x, par=%*ph\n", cmd, len, data); \

with nasty chains of nested defines, but then I also get actual compile failures

  drivers/gpu/drm/tinydrm/core/tinydrm-helpers.c:198:26: error:

   tinydrm_of_find_backlight(struct device *dev)
   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(with similar stuff for tinydrm_disable_backlight()).

It looks like it might compile if CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE was
enabled rather than being a module.

Doing this:

  -#ifdef CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
  +#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE)

in tinydrm-helpers.h gets rid of the complete build failure, and only
leaves the tens of lines of warnings.

How the hell did this get to the point where crap like this is even
sent to me? Nobody tested *anything*?

AND WHY THE HELL WAS THIS UTTER SHITE SENT TO ME IF IT WAS COMMITTED YESTERDAY?
