Can this one be left out.
I did something similar and put the brightness (and display output) 
initialization into separate functions for bug #9614:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9614

My patches go a step further and make sure that not several drivers try to do 
the switching.

They probably still need a bit testing and reviewing, but the first one:
Cleanup: Initialize brightness and display switching in separate functions
could replace this one (maybe a small one on top is still needed) already?
This would make things easier for me.

Could these three posted on the bug go into linux-next or into -mm?
Or should I better set up separate [PATCH 0/3] mails?

Thanks,

    Thomas
