Dell All In One (AIO) models released after 2017 use a backlight controller
board connected to an UART.
In DSDT this uart port will be defined as:
Name (_HID, "DELL0501")
Name (_CID, EisaId ("PNP0501")
Instead of having a separate ACPI device with an UartSerialBusV2() resource
to model the backlight-controller, which would be the standard way to do
this.
The acpi_quirk_skip_serdev_enumeration() has special handling for this
and it will make the serial port code create a serdev controller device
for the UART instead of a /dev/ttyS0 char-dev. It will also create
a dell-uart-backlight driver platform device for this driver to bind too.
This new kernel module contains 2 drivers for this:
1. A simple platform driver which creates the actual serdev device
(with the serdev controller device as parent)
2. A serdev driver for the created serdev device which exports
the backlight functionality uses a standard backlight class device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
