Wysocki" , Aaron Lu , linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org Hi All, I'm working on cleaning up the currently somewhat convoluted logic to select which backlight interfaces to register on x86 systems, see: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2014-December/074687.html For a rought outline (details will change in the actual patch-set). These 3 patches are a preparation for that work, as the behavior of the current code is not always consistent (it changes depending on module loading order in some cases). These 3 patches remove this inconsistency which in some cases may result in a behavior change. This way the cleanup can have a consistent base to build upon, and I can ensure that the cleanup itself does not cause any functional changes. I hope to post a v1 of the actual cleanup patch-set in 1-2 weeks. Regards, Hans
