Or even better, get rid of the struct apple_magic_backlight parameter
altogether:

static void apple_magic_backlight_report_set(struct hid_report *rep, char value, char rate)
{
	rep->field[0]->value[0] = value;
	rep->field[1]->value[0] = 0x5e; /* Mimic Windows */
	rep->field[1]->value[0] |= rate << 8;

	hid_hw_request(rep->device, rep, HID_REQ_SET_REPORT);
}
