Pull backlight updates from Lee Jones:
"Framebuffer Subsystem (fbdev):
- The display's blanking status is now tracked in 'struct fb_info'
- 'framebuffer_alloc()' initializes the blank state to FB_BLANK_UNBLANK
- 'register_framebuffer()' sets the state to 'FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN' if
an 'fb_blank' callback exists, ensuring 'FB_EVENT_BLANK' listeners
correctly see the display being turned on during the first modeset
- The 'FB_EVENT_BLANK' event data now includes both the new and the
old blank states
- 'fb_blank()' has been reworked to return early on errors, without
functional changes, in preparation for further state tracking
improvements
- Fbdev now calls dedicated functions in the backlight subsystems to
notify them of blank state changes, instead of relying on fbdev
event notifiers
- For LCDs, fbdev also calls a dedicated function to notify of mode
changes
- Removed the definitions for the unused fbdev event constants
'FB_EVENT_MODE_CHANGE' and 'FB_EVENT_BLANK' from the header file
Backlight Subsystem:
- Implemented fbdev blank state tracking using the (newly enhanced)
blank state information provided directly by 'FB_EVENT_BLANK'
- Removed internal blank state tracking fields ('fb_bl_on') from
'struct backlight_device'
- Moved the handling of blank-state updates into a separate internal
helper function, 'backlight_notify_blank()'
- Removed support for fbdev events and replaced it with a dedicated
function call interface ('backlight_notify_blank()' and
'backlight_notify_blank_all()') for display drivers to update
backlight status
LCD Subsystem:
- Moved the handling of display updates (blank events and mode
changes) from fbdev event notifiers to separate internal helper
functions ('lcd_notify_blank',
'lcd_notify_mode_change')
- Removed support for fbdev events and replaced it with dedicated
function call interfaces ('lcd_notify_blank_all()',
'lcd_notify_mode_change_all()')
- The LCD subsystem now maintains its own internal list of LCD
devices instead of relying on fbdev notifiers
LED Backlight Trigger:
- Moved the handling of blank-state updates into a separate internal
helper, 'ledtrig_backlight_notify_blank()'
- Removed support for fbdev events and replaced it with a dedicated
function call, 'ledtrig_backlight_blank()', for fbdev to notify
trigger of blank state changes
- The LED backlight trigger now maintains its own internal list of
triggers instead of relying on fbdev notifiers
Qualcomm WLED Backlight:
- Added a NULL check after 'devm_kasprintf()' in 'wled_configure()'
to prevent a potential NULL pointer dereference if memory
allocation fails"

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 reStructuredText 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.
