( Original posting from [1] )
I have the backlight-type patchset for months in my patch-series (and
maintained them if necessary against daily linux-next).
Also the last series from 14-Jan-2011 (see 1-5 patch from [2] and the
following ones at dri-devel ML).
If you couldn't find the updated v2 radeon-backlight-type patch, here
the extract from my patch-series:
...
# Patch from <https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/491351/>
+ backlight-type/v2-drm-radeon-kms-Expose-backlight-class-device-for-legacy-LVDS-encoder.patch
...
I can only speak for the radeon(-KMS) part with
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=y set and against linux-next: It worked,
it works.
I am a bit angry that someone of the "big 5" gets immediately an
answer where mine is ignored [3].
So dear Mr. AKPM, if you can standstill for a few moments to answer
only one of my questions, through which kernel-tree will this patchset
walk trough?
Thanks in advance.

Well, who were they sent to?
If it was dri-devel then perhaps the people there felt it was
inappropriate to their tree, or they were all busy fixing
100000000000000 regressions.
If it was Richard then he's been distracted by other things for some
time, which is why I recently started handling backlight and leds
patches.
If it was me then kick me, but I don't think it was.
In general, if you think that patches aren't getting attention then let
me know and send them to me - harassing people for you is part of my
job description.

leds and backlight patches are presently getting merged into my tree
and I'm sending them into Linus. I make sure that Richard sees them
all and when he finds time he helps review them for us.
They should turn up in linux-next too - we're working on that.
This particular patch series is theoretically a bit late for 2.6.38,
but if anyone thinks that's a wrong decision, feel free to explain why.

Short answer:
No need to kick anybody.
As I said I am using the patchset for a long time, so I am just fine
seeing them in 2.6.38.
( Feel free to add a Tested-by... to all five patches. )
