[PATCH v2] Platform: Samsung Q10 backlight driver

From: Frederick van der Wyck
Date: Mon Feb 21 2011 - 17:38:01 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.

create mode 100644 drivers/platform/x86/samsung-q10.c

I've made all the changes suggested by Greg and Dmitry in response to v1.
Main changes:
(1) use i8042_command instead of port IO;
(2) DMI detect to auto-load and to restrict to supported hardware.
Description of v1:
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.
