rasbian mz61581 no '/sys/class/backlight/' anymore

[mojocorp]

Hi,

Since I've updated raspbian recently, the '/sys/class/backlight/' is completely gone. I cannot control the backlight anymore using 'echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/*/bl_power'. I'm still able to control the backlight using the gpio util:

turn off

gpio -1 mode 12 out && gpio -1 write 12 1

turn on

gpio -1 mode 12 out && gpio -1 write 12 0

Since I did not update since years I may missed few things....

Development in this github repo has ceased.

I have the same problem. My LCD is ili9341,rpi-display.dtbo,2021-01-11-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.zip(kernel 5.4) or 2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.zip(kernel 5.10)

### /sys/class/backlight/ is empty

I don't know how to solve.

The problem is fixed here: [PATCH v2] staging/fbtft: Fix backlight This will eventually trickle back through the kernel stable tree.

[notro]

The fix is now in mainline and in the stable releases 5.15.6, 5.10.83 and 5.4.163.
