Subject: [PATCH v1 3/4] ACPI: video: Drop backlight parent device reference later
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 17:19:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3052896.e9J7NaK4W3@rafael.j.wysocki> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <5115219.31r3eYUQgx@rafael.j.wysocki>

From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

Update acpi_video_dev_register_backlight() to put the parent device after
registering the backlight class device under it instead of attempting to
register the backlight class device under a parent that (theoretically)
may be gone at that point.
