Hi Rob, Krzysztof,

First, I'm so sorry for our SoB writing wrong, I'll fix it in the next patch.
Because of this mail thread
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/),
I would like to discuss with you that I may change the following in
this DT document, I am not sure whether you agree or not.

1. Add some descriptions about MT6372, which supports 16384 steps (14
bits) and is different from MT6370/MT6371 (2048 steps, 11 bits)
2. Modify the format of 'compatible' as follows to distinguish between
MT6370/MT6371 or MT6372
------------------------------------------
properties:
compatible:
enum:
- mediatek,mt6370-backlight
- mediatek,mt6372-backlight
------------------------------------------

3. Remove the 'maximum' value of 'default-brightness' and
'max-brightness', and add "if-else" to determine the "maximum" value
as follows
------------------------------------------
default-brightness:
minimum: 0

max-brightness:
minimum: 0

...

if:
properties:
compatible:
contains:
const: mediatek,mt6372-backlight

then:
properties:
default-brightness:
maximum: 16384

max-brightness:
maximum: 16384

else:
properties:
default-brightness:
maximum: 2048

max-brightness:
maximum: 2048
------------------------------------------

4. Add a new boolean property to allow the user to determine whether
to enable the exponential mode of backlight brightness or not. Like
this,
------------------------------------------
mediatek,bled-exponential-mode-enable:
description: |
Enable the exponential mode of backlight brightness. If this property
is not enabled, the default is to use linear mode.
type: boolean
------------------------------------------

I hope these changes I have added will meet your expectations.
And I'm not sure if I should remove 'Reviewed-By' first until it
passes your review.
Thanks.
