NOTE: This patch needs an ACK from Richard Purdie before it can be merged, as he might want to change the backlight class code instead.
As mentioned elsewhere, we can't do this in the class itself.

This isn't against 2.6.21-rc1 which changed the backlight class a bit. Basically, you need to set the brightness variable after backlight_device_register(). It should be simple enough to do and fix the problem the same way though. Richard
