Description:
Maximum brightness for <backlight>.
Users: HAL

+What: /sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/type
+Date: September 2010
+KernelVersion: 2.6.37
+Contact: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>
+Description:
+ The type of interface controlled by <backlight>.
+ "firmware": The driver uses a standard firmware interface
+ "platform": The driver uses a platform-specific interface
+ "raw": The driver controls hardware registers directly
+
+ In the general case, when multiple backlight
+ interfaces are available for a single device, firmware
+ control should be preferred to platform control should
+ be preferred to raw control. Using a firmware
+ interface reduces the probability of confusion with
+ the hardware and the OS independently updating the
+ backlight state. Platform interfaces are mostly a
+ holdover from pre-standardisation of firmware
+ interfaces.
