Get rid of 'remove_new' relic from platform driver struct

2024-12-01T23:12:43Z

The continual trickle of small conversion patches is grating on me, and is really not helping. Just get rid of the 'remove_new' member function, which is just an alias for the plain 'remove', and had a comment to that effect: /* * .remove_new() is a relic from a prototype conversion of .remove(). * New drivers are supposed to implement .remove(). Once all drivers are * converted to not use .remove_new any more, it will be dropped. */ This was just a tree-wide 'sed' script that replaced '.remove_new' with '.remove', with some care taken to turn a subsequent tab into two tabs to make things line up. I did do some minimal manual whitespace adjustment for places that used spaces to line things up. Then I just removed the old (sic) .remove_new member function, and this is the end result. No more unnecessary conversion noise. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

backlight: lp8788: Drop support for platform data

2024-05-10T14:44:28Z

The backlight driver supports getting passed platform data. However this isn't used. This allows to remove quite some dead code from the driver because bl->pdata is always NULL, and so bl->mode is always LP8788_BL_REGISTER_ONLY.

backlight: lp8788: Fully initialize backlight_properties during probe

2024-03-07T09:03:29Z

props is stack allocated and the fields that are not explcitly set by the probe function need to be zeroed or we'll get undefined behaviour (especially so power/blank states)!

backlight: lp8788_bl: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

2023-03-16T15:08:36Z

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by returning an error code. However the value returned is (mostly) ignored and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns void. Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove callback to the void returning variant.

backlight: lp8788: Explicitly apply PWM config extracted from pwm_args

2016-05-17T12:45:04Z

Call pwm_apply_args() just after requesting the PWM device so that the polarity and period are initialized according to the information provided in pwm_args. This is an intermediate state, and pwm_apply_args() should be dropped as soon as the atomic PWM infrastructure is in place and the driver makes use of it.

backlight: lp8788_bl: Delete a check before backlight_device_unregister()

2015-08-25T07:43:40Z

The backlight_device_unregister() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring Acked-by: Jingoo Han Signed-off-by: Lee Jones
