backlight: Allow properties to be passed at registration 2010-03-16T19:47:54+00:00 Matthew Garrett mjg@redhat.com 2010-02-17T21:39:44+00:00 a19a6ee6cad2b20292a774c2f56ba8039b0fac9c Values such as max_brightness should be set before backlights are registered, but the current API doesn't allow that. Add a parameter to backlight_device_register and update drivers to ensure that they set this correctly.
