Subject: [PATCH] nvidiafb: don't use bl_mutex in nvidiafb_blank()
Date: Mon, 3 Jul 2006 22:39:58 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060704013958.GI27596@cathedrallabs.org> (raw)

nvidiafb: remove usage of bl_mutex from nvidiafb_blank()

struct fb_info bl_mutex is used to protect bl_curve[] only, not needed in
nvidiafb_blank() and will cause a recursive mutex locking in
nvidia_bl_get_level_brightness()
