Makes sense.
Please update the debug print at the end of intel_panel_setup_backlight
accordingly, and add a debug print about sysfs registration at the end
of intel_backlight_device_register. With that done, this is
Reviewed-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@xxxxxxxxx>
While at it, how about adding drm_get_connector_name(connector) in the
debug prints?
BR,
Jani.
