Hi Hans,

In the future, could you please refrain from committing patches like
this directly without any heads up or discussion?  A quick post to
this list with a link to the upstream submission is ideal.

I really appreciate the effort your putting in on the backlight stuff
here, but this patch was committed before it was even reviewed
upstream.  The previous incarnation of it was rejected because a
supposed fix is coming in 3.16.  It's certainly reasonable for Fedora
to carry this until 3.16 lands, but I'd like it if we can get some
agreement from upstream one way or another.  There's no major rush at
this point, particularly for rawhide.

Thanks.

josh
