2.6.36-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: =?UTF-8?q?Uwe=20Kleine-K=C3=B6nig?= <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>

commit d1d73578e053b981c3611e5a211534290d24a5eb upstream.

According to the comment describing ops_lock in the definition of struct
backlight_device and when comparing with other functions in backlight.c
the mutex must be hold when checking ops to be non-NULL.

Fixes a problem added by c835ee7f4154992e6 ("backlight: Add suspend/resume
support to the backlight core") in Jan 2009.
