[PATCH] platform/x86: dell-uart-backlight: new backlight driver for DELL AIO

From: AceLan Kao
Date: Thu Oct 26 2017 - 03:56:27 EST


The Dell AIO machines released after 2017 come with a UART interface
to communicate with the backlight scalar board. This driver creates
a standard backlight interface and talks to the scalar board through
UART.

In DSDT this uart port will be defined as
Name (_HID, "DELL0501")
Name (_CID, EisaId ("PNP0501")
The 8250 PNP driver will be loaded by default, and this driver uses
"DELL0501" to confirm the uart port is a backlight interface and
leverages the port created by 8250 PNP driver to communicate with
the scalar board.
