Not even compile tested!
That's one of the cases that's hard to catch unless you get the config
right.

Thanks, but I think this should go directly into chipsfb.c. I would have
provided a patch already, if our mail server didn't have issues this
morning. Let me try again.
asm/backlight.h needs it for struct backlight_device
At least if you don't want to include linux/backlight.h in
asm/backlight.h, then you need a forward declaration of struct
backlight_device;
It's preferable for asm headers not to include linux headers (to avoid
loops), so a forward declaration would be better IMHO.
The asm header shouldn't include <linux/fb.h> either. I'll send an
update to my patch to clean up everything.
Best regards
Thomas
cheers
