No, please don't do this.

I wrote you last week in reply to v1 why I thought merging this would
not be a good idea [1]. Why have you sent two versions since then
without replying to me, or Cc'ing me or Lyude?

I think it's an even worse idea to merge this to
drivers/video/backlight. With DP AUX backlight you can't pretend it's
just an independent aux interface for backlight without everything else
around it. It's not independent of eDP, and exposing it as a direct
backlight sysfs interface bypasses the encoder.

And it still remains that there is existing DP AUX backlight code in
use, in the tree, with more features than this, with plans and
previously submitted patches to lift from one driver to drm core, and
with patches to add support to another driver.

I don't say this lightly, or very often at all, but,

NAK.


BR,
Jani.
