However we're pretty deep in the probe before we realize, whoops, we need something else. It's a complex driver with complex init, and the backoff gets tricky. If it were easy, it would have been done already. Dunno, maybe it would be easier to just make the PWM backlight independent of i915. It's just that it's not without issues either.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
