I have only just now noticed that this effectively breaks userspace
interface as KBUILD_MODNAME is "fujitsu_laptop" while the previously
used device name was "fujitsu-laptop" (underscore vs. hyphen).

Jonathan, as this series is already long overdue, I suggest the
following course of action: please review these patches anyway and if
you find no other issues, please provide your Reviewed-by etc. as you
normally would.  Once you do that, I will post v4 which will use
"fujitsu-laptop" for backlight device name and will contain your v3
review tags.  Does that sound reasonable?
