42Description:
43 The type of interface controlled by <backlight>.
44 "firmware": The driver uses a standard firmware interface
45 "platform": The driver uses a platform-specific interface
46 "raw": The driver controls hardware registers directly
47
48 In the general case, when multiple backlight
49 interfaces are available for a single device, firmware
50 control should be preferred to platform control should
51 be preferred to raw control. Using a firmware
52 interface reduces the probability of confusion with
53 the hardware and the OS independently updating the
54 backlight state. Platform interfaces are mostly a
55 holdover from pre-standardisation of firmware
56 interfaces.

7 Interface is used to configure selected dual mode PCIe controller
8 as device and then program its various registers to configure it
9 as a particular device type.
10 This interfaces can be used to show spear's PCIe device capability.
11
12 Nodes are only visible when configfs is mounted. To mount configfs
13 in /config directory use:
14 # mount -t configfs none /config/
