Subject: [PATCH v6 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 v6 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.

Subject: [PATCH v6 2/5] dt-bindings: pwm-backlight: add PWM delay proprieties.

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.

Ok, but this changes behaviour for other panels, too. Are you sure you
are not breaking one of those?

I can't say that I am 100% sure because I didn't find all the
datasheets of all the panels supported in the kernel. But all the
datasheets I checked specifies this sequence as valid. In general I
think that doesn't really matter, but I know that at least the
B116XTN02 panel requires enable first the PWM, wait 10ms and then
enable BL_EN to avoid garbage. So the other way around is not valid
for this panel. That's the reason for this patchset.

If anyone knows a panel that says the contrary, please let me know and
I'll try to rework the patches to satisfy both requirements.

Regards,
Enric

This is certainly a patch that could cause regressions... but it would
be a very odd panel that *likes* to be exposed to all the weird edges
that might occur whilst the PWM stablizes and a panel that *needs* to
see weird edges to work seems even less likely (since it could act
different with each SoC).

So whilst the patch is not absolutely cast iron guaranteed free of
risk, I think it is well enough argued for.

Naturally I may change my position *very* quickly on receipt of the
first bug report ;-)


Daniel.

Enric,

Please collect all of your Acks and submit a RESEND.
