The LCD driver core calls LCD drivers when either the blanking state or
the display mode has changed, but does not make any check to see if the
called driver has a .set_mode method.

This means if a driver only has a .set_power method then the system will
OOPS on changing mode (and with the console semaphore held so you cannot
easily see the problem).

Fix the problem by ensuring that either callback is valid before use.

Some LCD panels are capable of different resolutions, and is allowed
to change at run-time, so to make "struct lcd_device" to be able to

Add the lcd_device being checked to the check_fb entry of lcd_ops.  This
ensures that any driver using this to check against it's own state can do
so, and also makes all the calls in lcd_ops more orthogonal in their
arguments.

Convert the backlight and LCD classes from struct class_device
to struct device since class_device is scheduled for removal.

One nasty API break is the backlight power attribute has had to be
renamed to bl_power and the LCD power attribute has had to be renamed
to lcd_power since the original names clash with the core. I can't see
a way around this.

sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.

This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.

For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.

Per device data such as brightness belongs to the indivdual device
and should therefore be separate from the the backlight operation
function pointers. This patch splits the two types of data and
allows simplifcation of some code.

Convert internal semaphore to a mutex
Signed-off-by: NRichard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>

backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the
header file. The external users of this are using it for a different
reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method.

backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal
serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing
things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to
take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all.

Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't
need it.

Also update the lcd class in a similar way.

The backlight layer should be independent from the framebuffer layer.  It
can use the services offered by the framebuffer, but its absence should not
prevent the backlight/lcd layer from functioning.

This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h.  The 3
#defines are unused in most of the touched files.

A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is
unfortunatly in linux/version.h.

There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not
touched.  In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where
the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
