[PATCH 00/15] backlight: Drop use of deprecated fb_blank property

From: Sam Ravnborg via B4 Submission Endpoint
Date: Sat Jan 07 2023 - 13:27:22 EST


This series refactor backlight users to avoid use of the
deprecated backlight_properties.fb_blank member.

Stephen Kitt <steve@xxxxxxx> and others already did a lot of
work and this is the final touches.

Patches 1-13 are independent and can be applied individually.
Patch 14 was already sent by Stephen and included here to make
the series complete.

The last patch may have to wait to avoid breaking the build
as it depends on all the other patches.

The series touches several sub-systems, so with acks I could
take them all in drm-misc. Or we can let the subsystems take
them and wait until next merge window with the final removal.
As new users of fb_blank do not pop up that often, waiting
one merge cycle is fine.
