Subject: [PATCH] i915: Don't register backlight when max PWM value is unknown
Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2012 16:34:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1347636868-3100-1-git-send-email-grant.likely@secretlab.ca> (raw)
When a backlight isn't connected to the i915 it doesn't make any sense
to register the backlight device, but the driver currently tries to limp
along using a max brightness value of 1. Instead, this patch makes it so
that if the maximum PWM value cannot be determined, then the backlight
will not be registered.
Tested on MacbookPro8,3.
