Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] platform/x86: dell-uart-backlight: extract dell_uart_bl_init() from probe
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 15:50:11 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261010102012.110394-2-chitranshmandhaniya@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261010102012.110394-1-chitranshmandhaniya@gmail.com>

From: Chitransh Mandhaniya <Chitransh_Mandhaniya@dell.com>

Move the UART backlight initialization sequence (get_version,
set_bl_power, get_brightness and backlight device registration) out of
dell_uart_bl_serdev_probe() into a new dell_uart_bl_init() helper.

No functional change. This is a preparatory refactor so that a
follow-up patch can inspect the return value of dell_uart_bl_init()
and take an alternative code path on failure.

Tested on OptiPlex AIO 7410 35W (01KP8D) and OptiPlex AIO 7420 35W
(0914RT) -- driver behaviour unchanged, backlight probes identically.
