Subject: backlight: pwm: Handle EPROBE_DEFER while requesting the PWM
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=68feaca0b13e453aa14ee064c1736202b48b342f;p=linux-beck.git

backlight: pwm: Handle EPROBE_DEFER while requesting the PWM

When trying to request the PWM device with devm_pwm_get(), the EPROBE_DEFER
flag is not handled properly. It can lead to the PWM not being found.
