Well, I usually prefer to have a single exit point (when it doesn't
make the code go beyond the 80chars limit).

but if you prefer something like:

if (!sinfo->backlight)
return;

if (sinfo->backlight->ops) {
sinfo->backlight->props.power = FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN;
sinfo->backlight->ops->update_status(sinfo->backlight);
}
backlight_device_unregister(sinfo->backlight);

I'll send the modified patch.
