Coccinelle found two places where backlight registration errors are
printed by passing PTR_ERR() to dev_err().

Use %pe instead so the error pointer can be printed directly. This keeps
the behavior the same and just makes the error printing cleaner.

I see a subtle problem with this email address. In case something
happened with your contribution (exempli gratia a regression found)
there will be no possibility to contact you without digging into
mailing list archives to get your Gmail address. I would prefer to see
the From: and SoB to acce-pt responses.

For the change itself, I have no objections. If one considers this
useful (probably to stop flood of the similar patches in the future)
