I've tried to add several functions to the backlight core ({s,g}et_{brightness,power}) and they were rejected. Thus all the locking is spread over the drivers. I agree it's faulty right now. It's still easier to move to backlight core functions than to fix all the drivers.
Because I am responsible/wrote for the broken code, how should I proceed? [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
