Subject: [PATCH] gpio-backlight: Discover driver during boot time
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2015 00:21:24 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1429143684-3371-1-git-send-email-arun@gumstix.com> (raw)
The gpio-backlight driver seems to be missing the
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE line which is preventing it from
being modprobed during boot time even if the
gpio-backlight device exists.
This seems to be a bug and this patch attempts to
fix that.
