Summary

Add backlight function to linuxkpi.
Graphics drivers expose the backlight of the panel directly so allow them to use the backlight subsystem so
user can use backlight(8) to configure them.

Sponsored-by: The FreeBSD Foundation.

Test Plan

Tested using https://github.com/freebsd/drm-kmod/tree/backlight on intel and amd laptop.

Remove changes that should have been part of D26250

Nice work!
How is the backlight adjustments exposed to users?
Do we need to change drm-current-kmod?

sys/compat/linuxkpi/common/include/linux/backlight.h

Should this be _LINUX_BACKLIGHT_H_ ?

I think you should add something like
/* !_LINUX_BACKLIGHT_H */ here

Do we need to change drm-current-kmod?

Yes I think so, I'll not commit before making a PR (if required).

I think backlight_if.h should be added to LINUXKPI_GENSRCS definition in

sys/conf/kmod.mk:LINUXKPI_GENSRCS

Add backlight_if.h to LINUXKPI_GENSRC variable.

No this is the right place for _if.h files.
