Currently, every backlight interface created by Nouveau uses the same name,
nv_backlight. This leads to a sysfs warning as it tries to create an already
existing folder. This patch adds a incremented number to the name, but keeps
the initial name as nv_backlight, to avoid possibly breaking userspace; the
second interface will be named nv_backlight1, and so on.

Fixes: fdo#86539

static data is initialized to 0, this should be unnecessary.

I'd also call it "backlights" or something like that. No need for
multiple words...

Please organize the code to avoid forward declarations.

Making this stack-allocated in the caller would be so much simpler...

This kinda sucks if you reload nouveau a bunch. How about using an
"ida". Have a look in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_crtc.c for how I use that
one.

I didn’t know that. But on the other hand, I like having it explicit, and it
should not add any overhead.

I prefer to use a plural noun when talking about a container of those nouns,
rathter than a counter of those nouns. But I’ll change it.

--" I was planning to use a dynamic size to allow numbers bigger than 99, and
lesser than 10, but stopped midway through the process. I’ll revert to a plain
stack-allocated.

Yeah, I’m not really fond of that part. I’ll have a look at drm_crtc.c!

It increases the size of the object file. I believe it's kernel policy
to avoid static initializations to 0. (Note that this doesn't hold in
regular user applications, just the kernel.)

 I believe Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86539 is
the preferred format. I think this is picked up by the mesa release scripts
or some such.

Ack’ed. I’ll fix that in the v2.

I had a quick look at drm_crtc.c. This seems to be exactly what I need, except
that I do not see how I can enforce to have one of the active ones being named
`nv_backlight`, to not break (possibly) existing userspace applications. (I’m
guessing that I would be doing the same as in drm_crtc.c: looping over all
connectors and assigning them an ida, regardless of them being active or not,
as they might become active later on.)

There is another issue that I failed to address with this patch, and just
realised about it. Each time `nvXX_backlight_init(connector)` is called on a
connector, a new backlight device is created, and is stored in
`drm->backlight`, which is unique at a device level, not connector level,
meaning the old one just gets overriden (and leaked). Having a list
`drm->backlights` should solve this issue. Would that be fine with you Ben?
