The nouveau code used to call drm_fb_helper_initial_config() from
nouveau_fbcon_init() before calling drm_dev_register(). This would
probe all connectors so that drm_connector->status could be used during
backlight registration which runs from nouveau_connector_late_register().
After commit 4a16dd9d18a0 ("drm/nouveau/kms: switch to drm fbdev helpers")
the fbdev emulation code, which now is a drm-client, can only run after
drm_dev_register(). So during backlight registration the connectors are
not probed yet and the drm_connector->status == connected check in
nv50_backlight_init() would now always fail.
Replace the drm_connector->status == connected check with
a drm_helper_probe_detect() == connected check to fix nv_backlight
no longer getting registered because of this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
