[PATCH] backlight: backlight: Fix doc for backlight_device_get_by_name

From: Miaoqian Lin <hidden>
Date: 2022-12-15 07:19:15
Also in: dri-devel, lkml
Subsystem: backlight class/subsystem, framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Lee Jones, Daniel Thompson, Jingoo Han, Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

backlight_put() has been dropped, we should call put_device() to drop
the reference taken by backlight_device_get_by_name().

Fixes: 0f6a3256fd81 ("backlight: backlight: Drop backlight_put()")
