Dear Maintainer,
I have been using Loongson 3A6000 laptops for some time now, but the 
backlight on these laptops has always been unadjustable, and their 
touchpads are also nonfunctional. Every time I go out, I have to bring 
my own mouse, which is very inconvenient! Moreover, the screen backlight 
cannot be adjusted, and it constantly hurts my eyes.

I have learned that some distros have already got relevant patches 
(https://loongfans.cn/en/pages/guides/errata-laptop.html), and I hope 
you can fix these issues sincerely.

The system info of my laptops:

* https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=bb12ab2e29

Regards,

larryw3i

Those patches need to go upstream so we can include fixes, we won't
pick changes which are not going to land upsteam. For the second patch
it is 75604e9a5b60 ("pwm: loongson: Fix LOONGSON_PWM_FREQ_DEFAULT")
which landed in 6.18-rc1 and backported to 6.17.3 as well.

But I do not see the former one. What is the status of that?

Regards,
Salvatore

Dear Binbin Zhou,

Can you upstream the patches about `backlight and touchpad` , please? 
Maybe lots of users (like me) need them.
