Subject: [PATCH] Platform: Samsung Q10 backlight driver

This adds backlight control on the Samsung Q10 laptop, which does not support
the SABI interface. Also tested successfully on the Dell Latitude X200.

The Samsung Q10 is an old model, which does not support the SABI interface, so
the samsung-laptop driver does not work. Backlight control is not exposed via
ACPI either. This driver works in the same way as the SMI handler triggered by
pressing the brightness function keys. Please let me know any feedback towards
getting this driver included.

Potentially endless loops are not good, please timeout if you don't get
the proper value over a time.

Why the name "samsungq10bl"? Why not just "samsung"?

No DMI matching to auto-load the driver and also fail to load on any
non-supported hardware?

Double not good since it is i8042 registers. Use
i8042_lock_chip()/i8042_command()/i8042_unlock_chip().

As I mentioned, these registers are owned by i8042, you should not
access them directly.

Why do you need this? Just have samsungq10_bl_send_intensity() always
return 0 (or result of i8042_command()) and use it directly.

I believe you should either store last brightness and return it or not
provide this method.
