Hi Michael

Some quick feedback.

With an unpatched 4.5 kernel, writing 4 (as opposed to 1, which I stupidly
tried earlier) to bl_power caused the backlight to turn off. Writing 0
turned it back on again.

With patches 1-4/4 applied, writing 4 to bl_power did *NOT* turn the
backlight off.

With patch 2 reverted, writing 4 to bl_power turned the backlight off.
Writing 0 to bl_power turned it back on again.

This means that patch 2/4 seems to prevent bl_power from operating as
expected on the S7020 hardware. Without this patch (but with all the others
in place) bl_power works.

I am unlikely to have any more time to investigate this further tonight.

In light of the above findings, what would you like to do?

Regards
jonathan
