[PATCH] rivafb/nvidiafb: race between register_framebuffer and *_bl_init
Since we now use the generic backlight infrastructure, I think we need to
call rivafb_bl_init before calling register_framebuffer since otherwise
rivafb_bl_init might race with the framebuffer layer already opening the
device and setting up the video mode. In this case we might end up with a
not yet fully intialized backlight (info->bl_dev still NULL) when calling
riva_bl_set_power via rivafb_set_par/rivafb_load_video_mode and the kernel
dies without any further notice during boot.
This fixes booting current git on a PB 6,1. In this case radeonfb/atyfb
would be affected too - I can fix that too but don't have any hardware to
test this on.
