Some panels support backlight control over DP AUX channel using VESA's standard backlight control interface. Using new DRM eDP backlight helpers, add support to create and register a backlight for those panels in drm_panel to simplify the panel drivers. The panel driver with access to "struct drm_dp_aux" can create and register a backlight device using following code snippet in its probe() function: err = drm_panel_dp_aux_backlight(panel, aux); if (err) return err; Then drm_panel will handle backlight_(enable|disable) calls similar to the case when drm_panel_of_backlight() is used. Currently, we are not supporting one feature where the source device can combine the backlight brightness levels set through DP AUX and the BL_PWM_DIM eDP connector pin. Since it's not required for the basic backlight controls, it can be added later.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
