Subject: [PATCH v4 1/5] pwm-backlight: enable/disable the PWM before/after LCD enable toggle.

Before this patch the enable signal was set before the PWM signal and
vice-versa on power off. This sequence is wrong, at least, it is on
the different panels datasheets that I checked, so I inverted the sequence
to follow the specs.

For reference the following panels have the mentioned sequence:
- N133HSE-EA1 (Innolux)
- N116BGE (Innolux)
- N156BGE-L21 (Innolux)
- B101EAN0 (Auo)
- B101AW03 (Auo)
- LTN101NT05 (Samsung)
- CLAA101WA01A (Chunghwa)

Subject: [PATCH v4 3/5] pwm-backlight: add support for PWM delays proprieties.

Some panels (i.e. N116BGE-L41), in their power sequence specifications,
request a delay between set the PWM signal and enable the backlight and
between clear the PWM signal and disable the backlight. Add support for
the new post-pwm-on-delay-ms and pwm-off-delay-ms proprieties to meet
the timings.

Changes since v3:
- Use two named members instead of pwm_delay[] (Daniel and Pavel)
- Use msleep instead of usleep_range. (Pavel)
Changes since v2:
- Move the pwm/enable sequence to another patch (Thierry Reding)
Changes since v1:
- As suggested by Daniel Thompson
- Do not assume power-on delay and power-off delay will be the same
- Move the check of dt property to the parse dt function.

Subject: [PATCH v4 5/5] ARM: dts: rockchip: set PWM delay backlight settings for Minnie

The minnie devices comes with an AUO B101EAN01 panel which is different
from default veyron devices, thus the power on/off timing sequence is
slightly different. The datasheet specifies a pwm delay of 200 ms, so
update the PMW delay proprieties accordingly.

Heiko,
I'm not able to test this patch in a minnie device because I don't have
one, so could you do a quick try, please?

Changes since v3:
- Use new -ms names for proprieties.
- Fix the delay, should be 200ms instead of 20ms (Pavel)
Changes since v2:
- Use new names for proprieties.
Changes since v1:
- Add this new patch as minnie has differents timings

Subject: [PATCH v4 4/5] ARM: dts: rockchip: set PWM delay backlight settings for Veyron.

For veyron the binding should provide both PWM timings, the delay between
you enable the PWM and set the enable signal, and the delay between you
disable the PWM signal and clear the enable signal. Update the binding
accordingly, in this case the panels connected to the veyron boards have
a symmetric power sequence, hence the same value is used.

Hardware needs a delay between setting an initial (non-zero) PWM and
enabling the backlight using GPIO. The post-pwm-on-delay-ms specifies
this delay in milli seconds. Hardware also needs a delay between disabing
the backlight using GPIO and setting PWM value to 0. The pwm-off-delay-ms
is this delay in milli seconds.

I guess you probably meant "properties" and I guess english could be
improved in the comments, but... this is good enough and not worth
more iterations.

Whilst it is strictly true that the delay you added to the driver is
currently between disabling the backlight and setting PWM value to 0 I
don't think the action should be described at this level of detail in
the DT bindings.

The semantic action that is being performed is "stopping the PWM". This
is currently implemented by setting the duty cycle to 0 and then calling
disable but that could change (especially so since the current behavior
looks asymmetric versus the enable sequence).

Well, datasheet say the delay is required between given actions, so
yes, I'd say that belongs in the device tree at this level of detail.

A lot of time has passed since these patches received the acks but I'm
still without seeing the patches in linux-next. There is some action I
need to do ? (rebase?). I'd really like to see those to land in next
merge window if all is ok.

Thanks,
Enric

Looks like you are still missing Acks on some of the patches and have
questions outstanding.

Best thing to do is rebase and resubmit with all of the Acks you've
collected applied.
