Subject: [PATCH] asus-laptop: correct error handling in asus_read_brightness()
Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2016 03:27:12 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1460766432-5390-1-git-send-email-giedrius.statkevicius@gmail.com> (raw)
It is possible that acpi_evaluate_integer might fail and value would not be
set to any value so correct this defect by returning 0 in case of an
error. This is also the correct thing to return because the backlight
subsystem will print the old value of brightness in this case.
