Richard Purdie d00ba72672 backlight: Rename the corgi backlight driver to generic
The corgi backlight driver is really generic code. This rename makes
this a lot clearer and completes the partial rename made a while ago.

Zhang Rui 9be1df98bc bd->props.brightness doesn't reflect the actual backlight level.
Always invoke backlight_update_status when users want to change
the backlight.

For setups where brightness change is an expensive operation,
this could be done in the driver rather than the core.

Ben Dooks b3b4dc8840 lcd: fix oops if driver only interested in .set_power
The LCD driver core calls LCD drivers when either the blanking state or
the display mode has changed, but does not make any check to see if the
called driver has a .set_mode method.

This means if a driver only has a .set_power method then the system will
OOPS on changing mode (and with the console semaphore held so you cannot
easily see the problem).

Fix the problem by ensuring that either callback is valid before use.

This patch adds a platform driver using the ATMEL PWM driver to control a
backlight which requires a PWM signal and optional GPIO signal for discrete
on/off signal.  It has been tested on Favr-32 board from EarthLCD.

The driver is configurable by supplying a struct with the platform data.  See
the include/linux/atmel-pwm-bl.h for details.

The board code for Favr-32 will be submitted to the AVR32 kernel list.

David Brownell a9a84c37d1 atmel_lcdfb: backlight control
On the sam9 EK boards, the LCD backlight is hooked up to a PWM output from
the LCD controller.  It's controlled by "contrast" registers though.

This patch lets boards declare that they have that kind of backlight
control.  The driver can then export this control, letting screenblank and
other operations actually take effect ...  reducing the typically
substantial power drain from the backlight.

Note that it's not fully cooked
  - doesn't force backlight off during system suspend
  - the "power" and "blank" events may not be done right
This should be easily added in the future.
