Hi,
After updating from linux 3.12.8 to 3.13 my display backlight 
switches off when starting X. As it seems, the kernel doesn't 
crash, it just switched off the backlight.

Hardware name: Acer Aspire 3820T/JM31_CP, BIOS V1.19 10/27/2010
This is a notebook with an intel/radeon hybrid graphics. I use 
intel for my X only. 

I've bisect'd the problem in the linux-stable tree and it says:

    drm/radeon: add runtime PM support (v2)
    
    This hooks radeon up to the runtime PM system to enable
    dynamic power management for secondary GPUs in switchable
    and powerxpress laptops.
    
    v2: agd5f: clean up, add module parameter
