Backlight brightness curves can have different shapes. The two main
types are linear and non-linear curves. The human eye doesn't
perceive linearly increasing/decreasing brightness as linear (see
also 88ba95bedb79 "backlight: pwm_bl: Compute brightness of LED
linearly to human eye"), hence many backlights use non-linear (often
logarithmic) brightness curves. The type of curve currently is opaque
to userspace, so userspace often uses more or less reliable heuristics
(like the number of brightness levels) to decide whether to treat a
backlight device as linear or non-linear.
Export the type of the brightness curve via the new sysfs attribute
'scale'. The value of the attribute can be 'linear', 'non-linear' or
'unknown'. For devices that don't provide information about the scale
of their brightness curve the value of the 'scale' attribute is 'unknown'.

This reverts commit 994efacdf9a087b52f71e620b58dfa526b0cf928.
The justification is that if hw blanking fails (i.e. fbops->fb_blank)
fails, then we still want to shut down the backlight. Which is exactly
_not_ what fb_blank() does and so rather inconsistent if we end up
with different behaviour between fbcon and direct fbdev usage. Given
that the entire notifier maze is getting in the way anyway I figured
it's simplest to revert this not well justified commit.

It is possible to update the backlight power and the brightness using
the sysfs and on writing it either returns the count or if the callback
function does not exist then returns the error code 'ENXIO'.
We have a situation where the userspace client is writing to the sysfs
to update the power and since the callback function exists the client
receives the return value as count and considers the operation to be
successful. That is correct as the write to the sysfs was successful.
But there is no way to know if the actual operation was done or not.
backlight_update_status() returns the error code if it fails. Pass that
to the userspace client who is trying to update the power so that the
client knows that the operation failed.

Some firmware drivers, ie acpi-video want to get themselves out of the
way (in some cases) when their also is a raw backlight device available.
Due to module loading ordering being unknown, acpi-video cannot be certain
that the backlight_device_registered(BACKLIGHT_RAW) it does for this is
the final verdict wrt there being a BACKLIGHT_RAW device.
By adding notification acpi-video can listen for backlight devices showing
up after it has loaded, and unregister its backlight device if desired.

We don't have to update a backlight status every time a blanking or
unblanking event comes because the backlight status may have already
been what we want. Another thought is that one backlight device may be
shared by multiple framebuffers. We don't hope blanking one of the
framebuffers may turn the backlight off for all the other framebuffers,
since they are likely being active to display something.
This patch makes the backlight status be updated only when the relevant
backlight device's use count changes from zero to one or from one to
zero.

We don't have to update the state and fb_blank properties of a backlight
device every time a blanking or unblanking event comes because they may
have already been what we want. Another thought is that one backlight
device may be shared by multiple framebuffers. The backlight driver
should take the backlight device as a resource shared by all the
associated framebuffers.
This patch adds some logic to record each framebuffer's backlight usage
to determine the backlight device use count and whether the two
properties should be updated or not. To be more specific, only one
unblank operation on a certain blanked framebuffer may increase the
backlight device's use count by one, while one blank operation on a
certain unblanked framebuffer may decrease the use count by one, because
the userspace is likely to unblank an unblanked framebuffer or blank a
blanked framebuffer.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Avoid driver callbacks when the brightness hasn't changed since
they're not necessary.

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.

merge things properly.)

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.
