The code is not really moved, patch 2/3 of my patch-set factors out
the detection code from drivers/platform/x86/apple-gmux.c's probe
function. The new factored out code uses a similar construct as
the apple_gmux_backlight_present() code (including the same leak).
Then patch 3/3 drops apple_gmux_backlight_present() and calls
the new factored out probe code.
I'll fix the leak in v2 and then add the 3 patches to pdx86/fixes
for the next pull-req to Linus (thus also fixing the leak).
Regards,
Hans
