backlight: document sysfs interfaces
Subsystems (2)
v2 cover backlight: document sysfs interfaces
Patchset contains documentation of the sysfs interfaces for the following five backlight drivers-
1) lm3639
2) adp5520
3) adp8860
It was compiled from data sheets, reading code and git history logs. In v2 of the patches, documentation for lp8788 and lp855x devices was dropped as the attributes contained debug information.

I've applied the set to the docs tree, thanks.
