Sorry for the late answer.

It turned out that I didn't commit the name of the samsung backlight
driver to the intel video driver (*blush*) - mainly because GregKH and I
weren't on the same level what the final name of the driver will be (I
supposed something more general, as it probably won't be samsung
centric).

Now that the name presumably stays fixed as "samsung" I finally
committed the name to the intel driver. It's commit #7e7db7a.
