[PATCHv2 2/2] atmel_lcdfb: blank the backlight on remove

flat view

From: Richard Genoud <hidden>
Date: 2013-05-31 15:49:52
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

When removing atmel_lcdfb module, the backlight is unregistered but not
blanked. (only for CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_ATMEL_LCDC case).
This can result in the screen going full white depending on how the PWM
is wired.
