Matthias Kaehlcke d55c028f8b backlight: Expose brightness curve type through sysfs
Backlight brightness curves can have different shapes. The two main
types are linear and non-linear curves. The human eye doesn't
perceive linearly increasing/decreasing brightness as linear (see
also 88ba95bedb "backlight: pwm_bl: Compute brightness of LED
linearly to human eye"), hence many backlights use non-linear (often
logarithmic) brightness curves. The type of curve currently is opaque
to userspace, so userspace often uses more or less reliable heuristics
(like the number of brightness levels) to decide whether to treat a
backlight device as linear or non-linear.

Export the type of the brightness curve via the new sysfs attribute
'scale'. The value of the attribute can be 'linear', 'non-linear' or
'unknown'. For devices that don't provide information about the scale
of their brightness curve the value of the 'scale' attribute is 'unknown'.

*
* Access to update_status() is serialised by the update_lock mutex since
* most drivers seem to need this and historically get it wrong.
*
* Most drivers don't need locking on their get_brightness() method.
* If yours does, you need to implement it in the driver. You can use the
* update_lock mutex if appropriate.

* Any other use of the locks below is probably wrong.
