drivers/misc/sony-laptop.c: In function 'sony_acpi_add': drivers/misc/sony-laptop.c:456: warning: 'result' may be used uninitialized in this function The compiler seems to actually be telling the truth this time. Cc: Mattia Dongili Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Len Brown

backlight: Separate backlight properties from backlight ops pointers

2007-02-20T09:26:53Z

Per device data such as brightness belongs to the indivdual device and should therefore be separate from the the backlight operation function pointers. This patch splits the two types of data and allows simplifcation of some code. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

backlight: Clean up pmac_backlight handling

2007-02-20T09:26:40Z

Move the setting/unsetting of pmac_backlight into the backlight core instead of doing it in each driver. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphore

2007-02-20T08:38:45Z

backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the header file. The external users of this are using it for a different reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method. backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all. Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't need it. Also update the lcd class in a similar way. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

backlight: Remove unneeded owner field

2007-02-20T08:37:40Z

Remove uneeded owner field from backlight_properties structure. Nothing uses it and it is unlikely that it will ever be used. The backlight class uses other means to ensure that nothing references unloaded code. Based on a patch from Dmitry Torokhov Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
