drm/i915/backlight: use unique backlight device names
Registering multiple backlight devices with intel_backlight name will obviously fail, regardless of whether they're two connectors in the same drm device or two different drm devices. It would be preferrable to switch to completely unique names, and sunset the generic intel_backlight name. However, there are apparently users out there that hardcode the name, so the change would break backward compatibility. As a compromise, register the first device with intel_backlight name. In the common case, this is the only backlight device anyway. From the second device on, use card%d-%s-backlight format, for example card0-eDP-2-backlight, to make the name unique. This approach does not preclude us from registering the first device using the same naming scheme in the future. v2: Keep using intel_backlight name for first backlight device Cc: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/2794Reviewed-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/7dc3f6974711ce44522189dc9db05d1e6e24e6d8.1619604743.git.jani.nikula@intel.com
