I think this is because apple_magic_backlight_init will return an error when it finds the touchbar interface, but this return value is not checked, so hid-apple still binds to the touchbar backlight.

This should be fixable so I don't think we need to still have the separate driver.

return value isn't checked here ^, we return 0 unconditionally below.
