15 /* Notes on locking:
16  *
17  * backlight_device->ops_lock is an internal backlight lock protecting the
18  * ops pointer and no code outside the core should need to touch it.
19  *
20  * Access to update_status() is serialised by the update_lock mutex since
21  * most drivers seem to need this and historically get it wrong.
22  *
23  * Most drivers don't need locking on their get_brightness() method.
24  * If yours does, you need to implement it in the driver. You can use the
25  * update_lock mutex if appropriate.
26  *
27  * Any other use of the locks below is probably wrong.
