Olof Johansson 515fa3ee9d Fix LCD backlight issue for droid4
There was a bit of an integration glitch with the LED backlight series.
 The LED related parts got merged into v5.6-rc1, but the actual backlight
 driver got left out.
 
 This caused an issue on at least droid4 where the LCD backlight can not
 yet be enabled automatically. And the LCD backlight can no longer be
 enabled manually either via sysfs.
 
 The integration glitch happened because some pending comments from me.
 There was some confusion on which device tree property we should use for
 the default brightness property.
 
 After discussing how to fix this on the mailing lists, we came to the
 conclusion that it's best to fix this issue properly by adding the
 missing driver.
 
 The other solutions would mean backpedaling and try to come up with some
 temporary solution that really does not solve the issue for users. The
 patch for led_bl.c has been around for quite a while and tested by many
 users and was assumed to be merged as part of the LED backlight series.
 
 For the brightness property to use, we ended up using the more common
 "default-brightness-level" rather than "default-brightness" used by
 some backlight drivers.

Fix LCD backlight issue for droid4

There was a bit of an integration glitch with the LED backlight series.
The LED related parts got merged into v5.6-rc1, but the actual backlight
driver got left out.

This caused an issue on at least droid4 where the LCD backlight can not

The integration glitch happened because some pending comments from me.
There was some confusion on which device tree property we should use for

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.
