+/**
+ * enum backlight_update_reason - what method was used to update backlight
*
- * backlight_device->ops_lock is an internal backlight lock protecting the
- * ops pointer and no code outside the core should need to touch it.
- *
- * 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.
+ * A driver indicates the method (reason) used for updating the backlight
+ * when calling backlight_force_update().
