This will change the behavior of the code. I basically agree with the
change because the current code will not control the backlight when the
kernel is built with CONFIG_FB_ATY_BACKLIGHT but the system doesn't
support the backlight interface (ie. non-pmac system). However someone
should check that it doesn't cause problems for pmac users.
