I believe the mdelay()s could be converted to the preferable msleep()?

Hi,

> I believe the mdelay()s could be converted to the preferable msleep()?

thank you for the remark. I have changed the mdelay to msleep in my
patch, reapplied it to the current Linus tree, built a kernel, installed
it on my computer and tested it. It works perfectly as you surely
expected. The corrected patch is included here.

BTW: I have noticed that some other drivers in video/backlight still use
mdelay: ili9320.c, locomolcd.c and vgg2432a4.c.

Poking at random ports isn't very nice. Is it possible to autodetect this tablet PC ?
Has it specific PCI ids or usefull DMI table ?

This function is unused. Looks like you copied it from corgi_bl.c where
it is called from platform code.

Subject: Re: [PATCH] Backlight driver for Tabletkiosk Sahara TouchIT-213 Tablet PC

Hi,

> Poking at random ports isn't very nice. Is it possible to autodetect
> this tablet PC ? Has it specific PCI ids or usefull DMI table ?

I didn't find anthing with lspci but can detect through DMI - if you are
interested you find the dmidecode output at the end of
http://claudio.ch/Bin/viewcvs.cgi/Config/sysinfo_touchIt213?rev=294 - and do it
in a similar way as in mbp_nvidia_bl.c. Have done it in the included patch.

Looking at the macbook driver I see it is much simpler and shorter than mine
which I derived from corgi_bl.c. No platform driver, no probe, remove, suspend
and resume.

Why is one much simpler than the other? Is functionality missing in the MacBook
driver or is the corgi one just (historically) overblown? If I could safely
reduce my driver to be as simple as the macbook one I would be more than happy
to do it.

> static ?

Fixed.

> Why do you need this wrapper ?

When I studied the corgi_bl driver I noticed that some stuff is done in the
driver itself and then there is the "platform stuff". I didn't know how to
handle it and was given the suggestion to put the platform stuff also in the
driver which I did but tried to keep that textually separate. Thus the separate
sahara_init. Yet I had to call it in kb3886_init otherwise nothing else would
do. I surely didn't fully understand what I was doing when I wrote that. Have
simplified it as suggested.

If all this can be simplified even more, like is done in macbook driver, that
would be great.

Fixed, i.e. removed.

Below the fixed patch, correcting all mistakes reported by Andrey.

Now let's add module alias to ensure driver autoloading.
IMHO the line below should do the trick:

MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnSDV:pniTouchT201:*");

Hi,

Fixed.

I usually built the kernel with my driver included. For once I tried to build as
module first without that line added and then with. And by magic the module is
loaded right at boot time. Thank you for your help.

Once again the patch in which all your suggestions are included. Furthermore I
noticed that I had "default y" in Kconfig. Handy for me, but a tad selfish I
think and so corrected that by setting it to "n".

Here the fixed patch:
