Subject[PATCH] video: backlight: pwm_bl: Initialize fb_bl_on[x] and use_count during pwm_backlight_probe()
Date
The commit: a55944ca82d287ca099ca90413af857af9086773 has posed some extra
restrictions on blanking and unblanking frame buffer device.

Unfortunately, pwm_bl driver's probe did not initialize members of
struct backlight_device necessary for further blank/unblank operation.

This code in case of initial unblank of backlight device (default behaviour)
sets use_count to 1 and marks this particular backlight device as used
by all available fb devices (since it is not known during probe how much
and which fb devices will be assigned).

Without this code, the backlight works properly until one tries to blank it
manually from sysfs with "echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank".
Since fb_bl_on[0] and use_count were both set to 0, the logic at
fb_notifier_callback (@backlight.c) thought that we didn't turn on
(unblanked) the backlight device and refuses to disable (blank) it.
As a result we see garbage from fb displayed.
