 Apparently, in kernel 2.6.28, the sysfs path for the power control of the
 LCD backlight changed from
 /sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-
 adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/backlight/pcf50633-bl
 to
 /sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-
 adapter:i2c-0/0-0073/pcf50633-regltr.9/glamo3362.0/glamo-spi-gpio.0/spi2.0
 /generic-bl.1/backlight:gta02-bl
 or to
 /sys/bus/platform/devices/generic-bl.1/backlight:gta02-bl

 In any case, the backlight cannot controlled anymore using the old path.

 Thus, ompower (as of
 http://svnweb.openmoko.org/developers/raster/ompower/power.c?rev=4602&view=auto
 ) needs to be updated. Until then, the brightness cannot be controlled
 under the new kernel.
