[ Upstream commit 868e8e5156a1f8d92ca83fdbac6fd52798650792 ]
Commit 20f85ef89d94 ("drm/i915/backlight: use unique backlight device
names") added support for multiple backlight devices on dual panel
systems, but did so with error handling on -EEXIST from
backlight_device_register(). Unfortunately, that triggered a warning in
dmesg all the way down from sysfs_add_file_mode_ns() and
sysfs_warn_dup().
Instead of optimistically always attempting to register with the default
name ("intel_backlight", which we have to retain for backward
compatibility), check if a backlight device with the name exists first,
and, if so, use the card and connector based name.
v2: reworked on top of the patch commit 20f85ef89d94
("drm/i915/backlight: use unique backlight device names")
v3: fixed the ref count leak(Jani N)
Fixes: 20f85ef89d94 ("drm/i915/backlight: use unique backlight device names")
