From: Pierre Moreau <pierre.morrow@free.fr>

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.

Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86539

v2:
* Switch to using ida for generating unique IDs, as suggested by Ilia Mirkin;
* Allocate backlight name on the stack, as suggested by Ilia Mirkin;
* Move `nouveau_get_backlight_name()` to avoid forward declaration, as
  suggested by Ilia Mirkin;
* Fix reference to bug report formatting, as reported by Nick Tenney.

v3:
* Define a macro for the size of the backlight name, to avoid defining
  it multiple times;
* Use snprintf in place of sprintf.

Just a minor issue, in the >= 100 case, backlight creation should probably
fail rather than reverting to "nv_backlight".  Other than that LGTM.

I don’t see how you could get to more than 100 backlight interfaces, but you
are absolutely right, it should fail rather than reverting to "nv_backlight".
I’ll add a return code to `nouveau_get_backlight_name()` and check for that in
the `nvX0_backlight_init()` functions. If it is non-zero, I’m not sure whether
I should return an error code (and if so, which one) or just a plain 0.

Thanks,
Pierre

PS: I have no idea what went wrong with the e-mail address, and why it decided
to send it from my other e-mail address rather than the usual one… I’ll have to
fix that before sending the updated version.
