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

Variable ar assigned a value that is never used.
I have also removed all the code that thereby serves no purpose,
and made same change to clarify the similarities in function.

This was found using a static code analysis program called cppcheck
