From 25981de5b836581364612a4b1fe27db3b5d1f861 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Hanselmann Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2006 16:25:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] backlight: fix oops in __mutex_lock_slowpath during head /sys/class/graphics/fb0/* Seems like not all drivers use the framebuffer_alloc() function and won't have an initialized mutex. But those don't have a backlight, anyway. Signed-off-by: Michael Hanselmann Cc: Olaf Hering Cc: "Antonino A.
