On some new laptops the LCD panel has a builtin electronic privacy-screen. We want to export this functionality as a property on the drm connector object. But often this functionality is not exposed on the GPU but on some other (ACPI) device. This commit adds a privacy-screen class allowing the driver for these other devices to register themselves as a privacy-screen provider; and allowing the drm/kms code to get a privacy-screen provider associated with a specific GPU/connector combo. Changes in v2: - Make CONFIG_DRM_PRIVACY_SCREEN a bool which controls if the drm_privacy code gets built as part of the main drm module rather then making it a tristate which builds its own module. - Add a #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DRM_PRIVACY_SCREEN) check to drm_privacy_screen_consumer.h and define stubs when the check fails. Together these 2 changes fix several dependency issues. - Remove module related code now that this is part of the main drm.ko - Use drm_class as class for the privacy-screen devices instead of adding a separate class for this Changes in v3: - Make the static inline drm_privacy_screen_get_state() stub set sw_state and hw_state to PRIVACY_SCREEN_DISABLED to squelch an uninitialized variable warning when CONFIG_DRM_PRIVICAY_SCREEN is not set Changes in v4: - Make drm_privacy_screen_set_sw_state() skip calling out to the hw if hw_state == new_sw_state Reviewed-by: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20211005202322.700909-3-hdegoede@redhat.com
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 Restructured Text 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.
