There may be multiple ways of controlling the backlight on a given machine. Allow drivers to expose the type of interface they are providing, making it possible for userspace to make appropriate policy decisions.

Description:
|
|
The type of interface controlled by <backlight>.
|
|
"firmware": The driver uses a standard firmware interface
|
|
"platform": The driver uses a platform-specific interface
|
|
"raw": The driver controls hardware registers directly
|
|
|
|
In the general case, when multiple backlight
|
|
interfaces are available for a single device, firmware
|
|
control should be preferred to platform control should
|
|
be preferred to raw control. Using a firmware
|
|
interface reduces the probability of confusion with
|
|
the hardware and the OS independently updating the
|
|
backlight state. Platform interfaces are mostly a
|
|
holdover from pre-standardisation of firmware
|
|
interfaces.
