2011-03-23backlight: add backlight typeMatthew Garrett
There may be multiple ways of controlling the backlight on a given machine. Allow drivers to expose the type of interface they are providing, making it possible for userspace to make appropriate policy decisions.

2010-03-16backlight: Allow properties to be passed at registrationMatthew Garrett
Values such as max_brightness should be set before backlights are registered, but the current API doesn't allow that. Add a parameter to backlight_device_register and update drivers to ensure that they set this correctly.

2009-01-08backlight: Rename the corgi backlight driver to genericRichard Purdie
The corgi backlight driver is really generic code. This rename makes this a lot clearer and completes the partial rename made a while ago. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@linux.intel.com>
