2020-10-30docs: ABI: sysfs-class-backlight: unify ABI documentationMauro Carvalho Chehab1-19/+2
Both adp8860 and adp8870 define some extensions to the backlight class. This causes warnings: Warning: /sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/ambient_light_level is defined 2 times: /sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/ambient_light_level:8 /sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/ambient_light_level:30 Warning: /sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/ambient_light_zone is defined 2 times: /sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/ambient_light_zone:18 /sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/ambient_light_zone:40 As ABI definitions shouldn't be duplicated. Unfortunately, the ABI is dependent on the specific device features. As such, ambient_light_level range is somewhat different among the supported devices. The ambient_light_zone is even worse: the meanings of each preset are different, and there's no ABI to retrieve the supported types nor their meanins. Unfortunately, it is too late to fix it without causing regressions, as this has been used since Kernel v2.6.35. Rewrite those ABI documentation using the current documentation as a reference, and double-checking at the datasheets: https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/ADP8870.pdf https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/ADP8860.pdf in order to properly document the differences between those two drivers.
