If the driver is probed from the device tree, and there is a phandle
property set on it, and the enable GPIO is already configured as output,
and the backlight is currently disabled, keep it disabled.
If all these conditions are met, assume there will be some other driver
that can enable the backlight at the appropriate time.

Applied, thanks.

Hmm, where was this applied?  I do not see it in:
 * v4.4-rc4
 * linux-next next-20151203 (dcccebc - Add linux-next specific files
for 20151203)

Nor do I see it in any branch in:
 * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lee/backlight
Is this the right git?
By the way this repository has a git tag called "HEAD", which is a bit
annoying since every time I "git remote update" from here, git gets
confused until I manually delete it (git tag -d HEAD).

Thanks,
