A few months ago Dmitry highlighted some problems with the backlight code and I've included patches to fix the issues raised. I've also included several pending backlight patches adding drivers or fixing other bugs. The backlight code was turning into a locking minefield, several mutexes deep in places and was in need of some cleanup which these patches attempt, by simplifying locks and documenting what they protect. Whilst working on the above I noticed some ways of removing some code duplication particularly with the powermac backlight hooks. There were also several backlight calls from fb_blank methods which aren't needed with the backlight code so I've removed them. There should be no functionality changes. I've cc'd various people who've been involved with areas of the backlight code. If people could check the changes to their hardware/areas of interest over or better still, test them I'd appreciate it as I can't compile or runtime test all of these changes. These changes should be appearing in the next -mm and I'm hoping it might still be possible to get them into 2.6.21 and iron out any issues during the -rc releases.
