Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

These functions allow the driver core to automatically clean up any

This patchset adds early fb blank feature that a callback of lcd panel
driver is called prior to specific fb driver's one. In the case of
MIPI-DSI based video mode LCD Panel, for lcd power off, the power off
commands should be transferred to lcd panel with display and mipi-dsi
controller enabled because the commands is set to lcd panel at vsync porch
period. and in opposite case, the callback of fb driver should be called
prior to lcd panel driver's one because of same issue. Also if fb_blank
mode is changed to FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN then display controller would be
off(clock disable) but lcd panel would be still on. at this time, you
could see some issue like sparkling on lcd panel because video clock to be
delivered to ldi module of lcd panel was disabled. this issue could
occurs for all lcd panels.The callback order is as the following:
at fb_blank function of fbmem.c
-> fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK)
-> lcd panel driver's early_set_power()
-> info->fbops->fb_blank()
-> spcefic fb driver's fb_blank()
-> fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_EVENT_BLANK)
-> lcd panel driver's set_power()
-> fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_R_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK) if
info->fops->fb_blank() was failed.fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_R_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK) would be called to revert
the effects of previous FB_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK call. and note that if
early_set_power() of lcd_ops is NULL then early fb blank callback would be
ignored.This patch:
Add early_set_power and r_early_set_power callbacks. early_set_power
callback is called prior to fb_blank() of fbmem.c and r_early_set_power
callback is called if fb_blank() was failed to revert the effects of the
early_set_power call of lcd panel driver.Signed-off-by: Inki Dae

This is S6E63M0 AMOLED LCD Panel(480x800) driver using 3-wired SPI
interface also almost features for lcd panel driver has been implemented
in here. and I added new structure common for all the lcd panel drivers
to include/linux/lcd.h file.LCD Panel driver needs interfaces for controlling device power such as
power on/off and reset. these interfaces are device specific so it should
be implemented to machine code at this time, we should create new
structure for registering these functions as callbacks and also a header
file for that structure and finally registered callback functions would be
called by lcd panel driver. such header file(including new structure for
lcd panel) would be added for all the lcd panel drivers.If anyone provides common structure for registering such callback
functions then we could reduce unnecessary header files for lcd panel. I
thought that suitable anyone could be include/linux/lcd.h so a new
lcd_platform_data structure was added there.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

Add the lcd_device being checked to the check_fb entry of lcd_ops. This
ensures that any driver using this to check against it's own state can do
so, and also makes all the calls in lcd_ops more orthogonal in their
arguments.Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks

Convert the backlight and LCD classes from struct class_device
to struct device since class_device is scheduled for removal.One nasty API break is the backlight power attribute has had to be
renamed to bl_power and the LCD power attribute has had to be renamed
to lcd_power since the original names clash with the core. I can't see
a way around this.Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

Per device data such as brightness belongs to the indivdual device
and should therefore be separate from the the backlight operation
function pointers. This patch splits the two types of data and

Convert internal semaphore to a mutex
Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the
header file. The external users of this are using it for a different
reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method.backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal
serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing
things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to
take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all.Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't
need it.Also update the lcd class in a similar way.

Nothing uses it and it is unlikely that it will ever be used. The
backlight class uses other means to ensure that nothing references

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.Let it rip!
