Ah yes, I noticed that too, as you see from the review I just sent through.
Sorry, I didn't see the above post until after I'd sent the review in. It's
no big deal though.

As per my review comments, I am happy with the patch series so long as the
backlight device name reverts to "fujitsu-laptop". Your suggested course of
action sounds fine to me. Alternatively, I could quickly and easily add
tags to a v4 post if that is seen to be more appropriate by Darren/Andy.
I'm easy either way.
