Hi Richard, After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc allyesconfig) failed like this: drivers/video/backlight/88pm860x_bl.c: In function 'pm860x_backlight_probe': drivers/video/backlight/88pm860x_bl.c:227: error: too few arguments to function 'backlight_device_register' drivers/video/backlight/max8925_bl.c: In function 'max8925_backlight_probe': drivers/video/backlight/max8925_bl.c:137: error: too few arguments to function 'backlight_device_register' Caused by commit 85d0968607ab8c61de45a68c643b198020a1369d ("backlight: Allow properties to be passed at registration") interacting with commits d07e8bf83fd71567aaf9c27c3b133ab3cf8f3c4c ("backlight: Enable backlight in 88pm860x") and 4f811ef0d40048ae80b6ea77080b814725bffc58 ("backlight: Enable max8925 backlight") which are now in Linus' tree (via the mfd tree) I applied the following patch for today.
