This doesn't look like the right fix to me.

Before, aty_st_lcd(LCD_MISC_CNTL, reg, par) in aty_bl_update_status()
wrote into an arbitrary register.
With your fix, it will write to register 0, which is IMHO also not OK.

I think aty_st_lcd() and aty_ld_lcd() should check whether the index is
out of range, perhaps even with a WARN_ON()?

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
