LED backlight driver

GoogleGroups

Hello ,

I am a new developer.

I have to write LED backlight driver on GPIO and by my understanding it will go in the path /drivers/video/backlight

Please suggest what changes are required in the DT file so that the probe function is called in my driver. I am using the already available driver

gpio_backlight.c

Can you also send example of the DT file,

Regards
