[PATCH] video: backlight: jornada720_lcd.c: Cleaning up variable that is never used

From: Rickard Strandqvist <hidden>
Date: 2014-07-06 18:20:33

Variable ar assigned a value that is never used.
I have also removed all the code that thereby serves no purpose.

This was found using a static code analysis program called cppcheck

Solve it the other way around.

Add a check and return the value if an error is returned.

Ok, I take the opportunity to make a bigger change to clarify the
similarities in function.
Hope you like it, otherwise I can make the minor change instead.

Kind regards
