I don't see this patch in Linus' tree (actually, it's not even in linux-next). I don't know where it's stuck, but could you make sure it reaches mainline for 4.2 (or 4.1 if it's not to late) ?

Sorry for the confusion. It looks like my for-backlight-fixes branch isn't in -next. Stephen, could you rectify that please? M: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lee/backlight.git

Thanks for adding your subsystem tree as a participant of linux-next. As you may know, this is not a judgment of your code. The purpose of linux-next is for integration testing and to lower the impact of conflicts between subsystems in the next merge window. You will need to ensure that the patches/commits in your tree/series have been: * submitted under GPL v2 (or later) and include the Contributor's Signed-off-by, * posted to the relevant mailing list, * reviewed by you (or another maintainer of your subsystem tree), * successfully unit tested, and * destined for the current or next Linux merge window. Basically, this should be just what you would send to Linus (or ask him to fetch). It is allowed to be rebased if you deem it necessary.
