Yes, I agreed should not put gratuitous initialization, I will remove it
in v2 patch.

Did you mean locking video_device_list?

The acpi/video locks video_device_list when add, remove and notify acpi
video bus driver. It always do the mutex lock before control
video_device_list, so I also add lock when unregister all backlight of
devices.


Thanks a lot!
