Hi,

If this need to be called here, before the hid_() calls below, there seems to be no real point in using devm_backlight_device_register() / devm_backlight_device_unregister().

The non-devm_ version should be enough.
The non-devm_ version is marked deprecated. As for the order, I am not really sure. I am concerned about someone updating the brightness while its being removed. So the HID device would already have been stopped and then I would issue a request and wait for completion.

If hid_hw_request and hid_hw_wait can handle this situation we are fine.

+    hid_hw_stop(hdev);
+    hid_set_drvdata(hdev, NULL);
+    devm_kfree(&hdev->dev, data);

'data' is devm_kzalloc()'ed.
It is likely that this explicit devm_kfree() could be saved. It will be freed by the framework.

exit_free?
in order to undo the hid_hw_open() just above.
Yes, my mistake. This does not call hid_hw_close(). I will fix it in v4.

I will remove all of the explicit calls to devm_kfree (and others) in v4 (and test it thoroughly).

Thank you for the helpful review.
