SubjectRe: [PATCH 1/1] drm/nouveau: fix error return code in nouveau_backlight_init()
Hello Zhen,

There was a similar patch sent in last month, though which does not seem to
have been merged yet; see
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/nouveau/2021-April/038451.html.

Whether `ret` should be `-ENOSPC` or `-ENOMEM` is hard to say as
`nouveau_get_backlight_name()` could fail due to either.

I will propose an alternative fix which modifies `nouveau_get_backlight_name()`
to return an int so the actual error code can be propagated back instead of
guessed, as well as fix an ida ID leak which I just spotted.

Best,
Pierre
