Subject: drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.c: remove unnecessary mutex code
X-Git-Tag: next-20121112~5^2~106
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=25f1f057788a7295f7418cde0754089d034095d2;p=karo-tx-linux.git

drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.c: remove unnecessary mutex code

The mutex for accessing lp855x registers is used in case of the user-space
interaction.  When the brightness is changed via sysfs, the mutex is
required.  But the backlight class device already provides it.  Thus, the
lp855x mutex is unnecessary.
