However, atmel_pwm_bl_get_intensity() should return 'int',
instead of 'u16'. Also, pwm_channel_readl() returns 'u32'.

Then, how about the following?

--- a/drivers/video/backlight/atmel-pwm-bl.c
+++ b/drivers/video/backlight/atmel-pwm-bl.c
@@ -70,17 +70,17 @@ static int atmel_pwm_bl_set_intensity(struct backlight_device *bd)

	struct atmel_pwm_bl *pwmbl = bl_get_data(bd);
-	u8 intensity;
+	u16 intensity;

	if (pwmbl->pdata->pwm_active_low) {
-		intensity = pwm_channel_readl(&pwmbl->pwmc, PWM_CDTY) -
+		intensity = (u16) pwm_channel_readl(&pwmbl->pwmc, PWM_CDTY) -
			pwmbl->pdata->pwm_duty_min;
	} else {

+		intensity = (u16) pwmbl->pdata->pwm_duty_max -
			pwm_channel_readl(&pwmbl->pwmc, PWM_CDTY);
	}

-	return intensity;
+	return (int)intensity;
 }
