Title: Dell new AIO requires a new uart backlight driver Status in HWE Next: New Status in OEM Priority Project: Triaged Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux-oem package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux source package in Bionic: Incomplete Status in linux-oem source package in Bionic: New Bug description: [Impact] New Dell AIO platforms requires a driver that ​can communicate with the scalar IC FW through UART interface to get and set the brightness level. [Test] Verified on some new Dell machines and confirmed it works. [Fix] Write a new driver to handle this task. [Regression Potential] Low, it's a new driver for new interface. [Misc] Upstream maintainer ask use to re-implement this driver by the new interface, serdev, but serdev seems doesn't work with ACPI, so submit this driver as Ubuntu sauce patch for now. I'll try re-write it when I'm available.
