Subject: [PATCH] backlight: backlight: Fix doc for backlight_device_get_by_name
Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2022 11:19:01 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221215071902.424005-1-linmq006@gmail.com> (raw)
backlight_put() has been dropped, we should call put_device() to drop
the reference taken by backlight_device_get_by_name().
Fixes: 0f6a3256fd81 ("backlight: backlight: Drop backlight_put()")
