This appears to leave a lot of backlight drivers with the same code
pattern that are not updated. As my last e-mail, please can you explain
why you selected these drivers and no others?

I would expect this type of change to be made with the assistance of a
script to automatically help you identify and change the code patterns
you are targetting. This would allow you to update all the backlight
drivers at once.
