Per device data such as brightness belongs to the indivdual device
and should therefore be separate from the the backlight operation
function pointers. This patch splits the two types of data and
allows simplifcation of some code.

fb_info->bl_mutex is badly thought out and the backlight class doesn't
need it if the framebuffer/backlight register/unregister order is
consistent, particularly after the backlight locking fixes.

Fix the drivers to use the order:

backlight_device_register()
register_framebuffer()
unregister_framebuffer()
backlight_device_unregister()

and turn bl_mutex into a lock for the bl_curve data only.

The backlight core listens for blanking events and triggers a
backlight_update_status call so these extra calls are not
needed and can be removed.

Remove uneeded update_status call from chipsfb.c since the
backlight core now receives software blanking notifications
too.
Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>

The backlight class wants notification whenever the console is blanked
but doesn't get this when hardware blanking fails and software blanking
is used. Changing FB_EVENT_BLANK to report both would be a behaviour
change which could confuse the console layer so add a new event for
software blanking and have the backlight class listen for both.

Currently its possible to build the backlight core as a module yet

nvidia_bl_set_power isn't needed since the backlight class handles

Convert internal semaphore to a mutex
Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>

backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the
header file. The external users of this are using it for a different
reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method.

backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal
serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing
things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to
take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all.

Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't
need it.

Also update the lcd class in a similar way.

From the 01408c49 log message:

The problem is that when we write to a file, the copy from userspace to
pagecache is first done with preemption disabled, so if the source
address is not immediately available the copy fails *and* *zeros* *the*
*destination*.

This is a problem because a concurrent read (which admittedly is an odd
thing to do) might see zeros rather that was there before the write, or
what was there after, or some mixture of the two (any of these being a
reasonable thing to see).

If the copy did fail, it will immediately be retried with preemption
re-enabled so any transient problem with accessing the source won't
cause an error.

The first copying does not need to zero any uncopied bytes, and doing
so causes the problem.  It uses copy_from_user_atomic rather than
copy_from_user so the simple expedient is to change copy_from_user_atomic
to *not* zero out bytes on failure.

This patch finally implements at least a not so pretty solution by
duplicating the relevant part of __copy_user.

The kernel use 64-bit for sc_regs[0], and both N32/N64 userland
expects it was 64-bit.  But size of 'long' on N32 is actually 32-bit.
So this definition make some confusion.  Use __u32 and __u64 for
N32/N64 sigcontext to get rid of this confusion.
