From 98a3c781057fa43494e7e8b39d639e93fca0ecbf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2006 14:04:34 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] fbdev: Fix crashes in various fbdev's blank routines The backlight changes that went in had a bug where they could cause the kernel to access an unitialized pointer when blanking if there is no backlight control on a machine. The bug affects atyfb, aty128fb, nvidiafb and rivafb. radeonfb seems to be ok. This fixes it.
