Please aways quote the error messages or warnings when fixing build
errors or warnings.  It helps with the review quite a lot.

Many drivers/video/backlight/*.c drivers use __devinit for the
platform_driver.probe handler.  Quite a lot use nothing (ie: .text). 
Some still use __init.  About half of them use __devexit_p for .remove
and half don't.  It looks like it all needs a bit of loving care.
