[PATCH] i915: Don't register backlight when max PWM value is unknown

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
