backlight.h documents "struct backlight_ops->get_brightness()" to return a negative errno on failure. So far these errors have not been handled in the backlight core. This leads to negative values being exposed through sysfs although only positive values are documented to be reported.

Don't do that. If you think the submission has been forgotten about (it hasn't), then please submit a [RESEND]. As it happens, this is on my TOREVEW list. I just need to get around to it post-vacation.

Hi Lee,
thanks!
Also I'm sorry about my nagging before. I was not aware you were on vacation and saw you respond to other mails.

No worries.
I was not aware you were on vacation and saw you respond to other mails.
They were in the queue before this one.
I had hundreds of emails to get through on my return!
