Commit 20f85ef89d94 ("drm/i915/backlight: use unique backlight device
names") added support for multiple backlight devices on dual panel
systems, but did so with error handling on -EEXIST from
backlight_device_register(). Unfortunately, that triggered a warning in
dmesg all the way down from sysfs_add_file_mode_ns() and
sysfs_warn_dup().
Instead of optimistically always attempting to register with the default
name ("intel_backlight", which we have to retain for backward
compatibility), check if a backlight device with the name exists first,
and, if so, use the card and connector based name.
v2: reworked on top of the patch commit 20f85ef89d94
("drm/i915/backlight: use unique backlight device names")
v3: fixed the ref count leak(Jani N)
Fixes: 20f85ef89d94 ("drm/i915/backlight: use unique backlight device names")

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.
