[PATCH 4/6] pwm_backlight: Add deferred probe support

From: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>
Date: 2012-06-15 15:17:05
Also in: linux-sh
Subsystem: backlight class/subsystem, framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Lee Jones, Daniel Thompson, Jingoo Han, Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

If the PWM instance is not available yet at probe time, request a
deferred probe.

A better way to fix might be to create a PWM subsystem (possible
integrated into the GPIO subsystem) to support generic PWM objects, and
make sure the subsystem gets initialized first.
