backlight_properties.fb_blank is deprecated. The states it represents
are handled by other properties; but instead of accessing those
properties directly, drivers should use the helpers provided by
backlight.h.
Instead of retrieving the backlight brightness in struct
backlight_properties manually, and then checking whether the backlight
should be on at all, use backlight_get_brightness() which does all
this and insulates this from future changes.
This means that BL_CORE_SUSPENDED is now taken into account, as it
should be.

Thanks Stephen.
Robin, it would be great to get your ack/review (or if you can give it
a quick test, that would be great too).
Cheers,
Miguel

This will likely go through drm-misc as part of a bigger series:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230107-sam-video-backlight-drop-fb_blank-v1-0-1bd9bafb351f@ravnborg.org/
So you may want to copy-paste your tag there.

Yeah, sorry. I mentioned it just in case, since Sam asked for Robin's
Ack in that thread, but I should have probably just Cc'd him here
(done!)...

Stephen notified me that the patch is already applied - so no need for
anything now. Sorry for the noise!

That was the via-pmu-backlight patch; AFAIK the ht16k33 patch hasn’t been
applied anywhere yet.
