Subject: [PATCH] backlight: led_bl: fix initial power state

The condition for the initial power state based on the default
brightness value is reversed. Fix it.

Furthermore, use the actual state of the LEDs rather than the default
brightness specified in the devicetree as the latter should not cause
the backlight to be automatically turned on.

If the backlight device is not linked to any display, set the initial
power to on unconditionally.

Fixes: ae232e45acf9 ("backlight: add led-backlight driver")

Changes in v3:
- Add comment

Changes in v2:
- Use the reported LED state to set initial power state
- Always power on if no phandle in DT

This mismatches the subject line ;-) but I can live with that if Lee
and Jingoo can!

Does it not fix it? If you think the subject is misleading, feel free
to change it.

The bit that goes into version control is fine!

However without '[PATCH v3]' on the subject line for the initial patch
there is a risk this thread will get overlooked and not queued[1].


Daniel.


[1] Just to be clear, Lee J. typically hoovers up the backlight patches
and sends the PR. I only queue backlight patches myself as holiday
cover...

Oh, I see now I forgot to add the v3 tag. Sorry about that.
