Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 03/65] backlight: Propagate errors from get_brightness()
Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2021 14:03:23 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211116190443.2418144-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211116190443.2418144-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@weissschuh.net>

[ Upstream commit 563edf85ce18a90dd0a7b39e279a691d937205f6 ]

backlight.h documents "struct backlight_ops->get_brightness()" to return
a negative errno on failure.

So far these errors have not been handled in the backlight core.
This leads to negative values being exposed through sysfs although only
positive values are documented to be reported.
