> Subject: [PATCHv3] drm/i915/display: add support for dual panel backlight
> 
> The patch with commit 20f85ef89d94 ("drm/i915/backlight: use unique
> backlight device names") already adds support for dual panel backlight but
> with error prints. Since the patch tried to create the backlight device with 
> the
> same name and upon failure will try with a different name it leads to failure
> logs in dmesg inturn getting caught by CI.
> 
> This patch alternately will check if the backlight class of same name exists,
> will use a different name.
> 
> v2: reworked on top of the patch commit 20f85ef89d94
> ("drm/i915/backlight: use unique backlight device names")
> v3: fixed the ref count leak(Jani N)
