It seems that some laptops will report having both an eDP and LVDS
connector, even though only the LVDS connector is actually hooked up. This
can lead to issues with backlight registration if the eDP connector ends up
getting registered before the LVDS connector, as the backlight device will
then be registered to the eDP connector instead of the LVDS connector.
So, fix this by only registering the backlight on connectors that are
reported as being connected.

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.
