Well, since we are using dev_set_drvdata on startup (toshiba_acpi_add),
it should never return a bad pointer, however, lets play on the safe side
and I'll add a check for NULL because that's what dev_get_drvdata
returns in case of a non valid pointer

Right now yes, as I wasn't sure if I could create/delete files from sysfs, so
perhaps whenever the user is not on AUTO call sysfs_update_group and leave
toshiba_sysfs_is_visible as it was.

I just wanted to place a note for others reading the code, the kbd led
method is always available, so if someone else tries to expose the
kbd led to userspace on kbd bl type 2, it will return a write protected
error on writing (reading is always accessible).

I'll re-send an updated patch with the observations mentioned here,
and also adding an extra line of code that went missing.

Cheers
