The patch titled video sysfs support: Add dev argument for backlight_device_register has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is video-sysfs-support-take-2-add-dev-argument-for-backlight_device_register.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: video sysfs support: Add dev argument for backlight_device_register From: Yu Luming <luming.yu@xxxxxxxxx> This patch set adds generic abstract layer support for acpi video driver to have generic user interface to control backlight and output switch control by leveraging the existing backlight sysfs class driver, and by adding a new video output sysfs class driver. This patch: Add dev argument for backlight_device_register to link the class device to real device object. The platform specific driver should find a way to get the real device object for their video device. Signed-off-by: Luming Yu <Luming.yu@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Antonino A.
