<id>urn:sha1:c03642ee7ef2fda996cbf699a6363b2cd7d8b48b</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 9d3fde86b15303decea632c929fbf1f3ae4501f2 upstream.

Move probe out of __init section and don't use platform_driver_probe
which cannot be used with deferred probing.

Since commit e9354576 ("gpiolib: Defer failed gpio requests by default")
this driver might return -EPROBE_DEFER if a gpio_request fails.

<title>mfd: max8925: fix dt code for backlight</title>

<id>urn:sha1:515c0967205f2e6d0ca1602ce0de65f9aec1d215</id>
<content type='text'>
The device-tree enablement for max8925 has several problems, but besides
the bindings being wrong (and not having seen review) there's also some
bad coding practices on how to fill in the platform_data from device tree.

I came across this since it causes a warning when compiling
mmp2_defconfig, and instead of doing the minimal fix to silence the
warning, I restructured the code a bit.

This silences the warning:
drivers/video/backlight/max8925_bl.c: In function 'max8925_backlight_probe':
drivers/video/backlight/max8925_bl.c:177:3: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value]

Note that the bindings themselves need to be revisited too, but that will
affect more than just the backlight driver and is best done separately;
this just fixes the bad code for the backlight driver.

<title>backlight: convert from legacy pm ops to dev_pm_ops</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3601792e7b68150420ea8dc129e26e167c0484d8</id>
<content type='text'>
Convert drivers/video/backlight/class to use dev_pm_ops for power
management and remove Legacy PM ops hooks.

With this change, backlight class registers suspend/resume callbacks via
class-&gt;pm (dev_pm_ops) instead of Legacy class-&gt;suspend/resume.  When
__device_suspend() runs call-backs, it will find class-&gt;pm ops for the
backlight class.

[jg1.han@samsung.com: add CONFIG_PM_SLEEP to suspend/resume functions]

These functions allow the driver core to automatically clean up any
allocation made by lcd drivers.  Thus it simplifies the error paths.

The driver core clears the driver data to NULL after device_release or

= NULL when no driver is bound").

Thus, it is not needed to manually clear the device driver data to NULL.

<title>drivers: avoid format string in dev_set_name</title>

Calling dev_set_name with a single paramter causes it to be handled as a
format string.  Many callers are passing potentially dynamic string
content, so use "%s" in those cases to avoid any potential accidents,
including wrappers like device_create*() and bdi_register().
