These functions are called via the backlight_ops structure by the standard backlight class framework and it seems, from a real quick look, that the API treats numbers >=0 as valid data. So something like this (untested, off the top of my head) might be more appropriate: diff -puN drivers/platform/x86/fujitsu-laptop.c~fujitsu-laptop-fix-tests-of-acpi_evaluate_integer-return drivers/platform/x86/fujitsu-laptop.c --- a/drivers/platform/x86/fujitsu-laptop.c~fujitsu-laptop-fix-tests-of-acpi_evaluate_integer-return +++ a/drivers/platform/x86/fujitsu-laptop.c @@ -376,7 +376,7 @@ static int get_lcd_level(void) status = acpi_evaluate_integer(fujitsu->acpi_handle, "GBLL", NULL, &state); - if (status < 0) - return status; + if (ACPI_FAILURE(status)) + return -status; fujitsu->brightness_level = state & 0x0fffffff; @@ -398,7 +398,7 @@ static int get_max_brightness(void) status = acpi_evaluate_integer(fujitsu->acpi_handle, "RBLL", NULL, &state); - if (status < 0) - return status; + if (ACPI_FAILURE(status)) + return -status; fujitsu->max_brightness = state; Otherwise "return -1;" would be fine by me. My only reason for going with "-status" is that it might give some clue as to what went wrong. Thoughts?
