[PATCH v3 2/2] Do not register interface if Apple GMUX detected

Wed Dec 7 23:57:09 UTC 2016


The Apple GMUX is the one managing the backlight, so there is no need for
Nouveau to register its own backlight interface.

v2: Do not split information message on two lines as it prevents from grepping
    it, as pointed out by Lukas Wunner

v3: Add a missing end-of-line character to the printed message
