Which is really strange. I have just applied (with b4) on top of your changes
and no complains so far.

$ git am ./v2_20240201_andriy_shevchenko_backlight_mp3309c_allow_to_use_on_non_of_platforms.mbx
Applying: backlight: mp3309c: Make use of device properties
Applying: backlight: mp3309c: use dev_err_probe() instead of dev_err()
Applying: backlight: mp3309c: Utilise temporary variable for struct device

Can you show what b4 tells you about this?
