Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] platform/x86: dell-uart-backlight: extract dell_uart_bl_receive_data() helper
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 13:13:38 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261015074339.27388-2-chitranshmandhaniya@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261015074339.27388-1-chitranshmandhaniya@gmail.com>
From: Chitransh Mandhaniya <Chitransh_Mandhaniya@dell.com>
Move the response-byte processing and checksum validation out of
dell_uart_bl_receive() into a new dell_uart_bl_receive_data() helper.
No functional change. This is a preparatory refactor so that a
follow-up patch can call the helper again after resyncing on a stray
byte from the EC.
