backlight_properties.fb_blank is deprecated. The states it represents are handled by other properties; but instead of accessing those properties directly, drivers should use the helpers provided by backlight.h. Instead of retrieving the backlight brightness in struct backlight_properties manually, and then checking whether the backlight should be on at all, use backlight_get_brightness() which does all this and insulates this from future changes.

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 Restructured Text 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.
