Subject: [Regression/Oops] nsc-ircc: 4.3.0rc6/rc7 No backlight on Thinkpad
 T60P

Tried the latest kernel and have the issue where the LCD backlight does
not light (ie dark screen) after the kernel has booted.

It appears that there is a 'oops' with the nsc-ircc driver, and I assume
that this is the root of the problem. 4.3.0rc6 and rc7 are bad, rc2 seems
OK.
