+/**
+ * DOC: overview
+ *
+ * The backlight core supports implementing backlight drivers.
+ *
+ * A backlight driver registers a driver using
+ * devm_backlight_device_register(). The properties of the backlight
+ * driver such as type and max_brightness must be specified.
+ * When the core detect changes in for example brightness or power state
+ * the update_status() operation is called. The backlight driver shall
+ * implement this operation and use it to adjust backlight.
+ *
+ * Several sysfs attributes are provided by the backlight core::
+ *
+ * - brightness         R/W, set the requested brightness level
+ * - actual_brightness  RO, the brightness level used by the HW
+ * - max_brightness     RO, the maximum  brightness level supported
+ *
+ * See Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-class-backlight for the full list.
+ *
+ * The backlight can be adjusted using the sysfs interface, and
+ * the backlight driver may also support adjusting backlight using
+ * a hot-key or some other platform or firmware specific way.
+ *
+ * The driver must implement the get_brightness() operation if
+ * the HW do not support all the levels that can be specified in
+ * brightness, thus providing user-space access to the actual level
+ * via the actual_brightness attribute.
+ *
+ * When the backlight changes this is reported to user-space using
+ * an uevent connected to the actual_brightness attribute.
+ * When brightness is set by platform specific means, for example
+ * a hot-key to adjust backlight, the driver must notify the backlight
+ * core that brightness has changed using backlight_force_update().
+ *
+ * The backlight driver core receives notifications from fbdev and
+ * if the event is FB_EVENT_BLANK and if the value of blank, from the
+ * FBIOBLANK ioctrl, results in a change in the backlight state the
+ * update_status() operation is called.
