Instead of exiting the loop as expected when an entry is found, the
list_for_each_entry() continues until the traversal is complete. To
avoid potential executing 'ret = gma_backlight_init(dev);' repeatly,
goto outside the loop when the entry is found.

Hi,
This would work but using gotos like this easily turns the code into
spaghetti. See "7. Centralized exiting of functions" in
Documentation/process/coding-style.rst for when to use gotos.
In this particular case I think we are better off using an
if-statement. What about something like this:
if (gma_encoder->type == INTEL_OUTPUT_LVDS ||
gma_encoder->type == INTEL_OUTPUT_MIPI) {
ret = gma_backlight_init();
break;
}

Yes, it looks better.
I have sent a PATCH v3 with changes as you suggested, please check it.
Thank you very much.
