Introduce the backlight_get_brightness() helper in all video/backlight/* drivers. This simplifies the code and align the implementation of the update_status() operation across the different backlight drivers. Some of the drivers gains a little extra functionality by the change as they now respect the fb_blank() ioctl.

Replaces the open-coded checks of the state, with the backlight_get_brightness() helper. This increases readability of the code and align the functionality across the drivers.

Improve the documentation for backlight_device and adapt it to kernel-doc style. The updated documentation is more strict on how locking is used. With the update neither update_lock nor ops_lock may be used outside the backlight core. This restriction was introduced to keep the locking simple by keeping it in the core. It was verified that this documents the current state by renaming update_lock => bl_update_lock and ops_lock => bl_ops_lock. The rename did not reveal any uses outside the backlight core. The rename is NOT part of this patch.

The backlight support has three properties that express the state: - power - state - fb_blank It is un-documented and easy to get wrong. Add backlight_is_blank() helper to make it simpler for drivers to get the check of the state correct. A lot of drivers also includes checks for fb_blank. This check is redundant when the state is checked and thus not needed in this helper function. But added anyway to avoid introducing subtle bugs due to the creative use of fb_blank in some drivers. Introducing this helper will for some drivers results in added support for fb_blank. This will be a change in functionality, which will improve the backlight driver. Rolling out this helper to all relevant backlight drivers will eliminate almost all accesses to fb_blank.

This driver has no in-kernel users. The device can only be populated by board files since it does not support device tree nor ACPI, and nothing in the kernel creates a device named "ot200-backlight". This driver has been in the kernel since 2012. If it is used by out-of-tree code that code should have been upstreamed by now, it's been 8 years. It uses the idiomatic forked GPIO of the CS5535 which combines pin control and GPIO into its private custom interface, which causes me a headache because that is not how we do things these days: we creates separate pin control and GPIO drivers.

This reverts commit a43a67a2. This patch reverts the main part of switching direct io implementation to iomap infrastructure. There's a problem in invalidate page that couldn't be solved as regression in this development cycle. The problem occurs when buffered and direct io are mixed, and the ranges overlap. Although this is not recommended, filesystems implement measures or fallbacks to make it somehow work. In this case, fallback to buffered IO would be an option for btrfs (this already happens when direct io is done on compressed data), but the change would be needed in the iomap code, bringing new semantics to other filesystems. Another problem arises when again the buffered and direct ios are mixed, invalidation fails, then -EIO is set on the mapping and fsync will fail, though there's no real error. There have been discussions how to fix that, but revert seems to be the least intrusive option.
