Seems like missed Co-developed-by. Or you are the wrong author. Fix accordingly.

Is it part of HW protocol? Otherwise drop assignments.

Missed comma.

Ditto.

Ditto.
And for any other multi-line comments in this driver.

return PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(backlight);

So, Co-developed-by seems missing above.
