A few update suggestions were taken into account
from static source code analysis.

Markus Elfring (5):
  Delete an error message for a failed memory allocation
  Improve a size determination
  Delete an unnecessary return statement
  Return directly after a failed kmalloc()
  Delete a jump target

[PATCH 1/5] radeon_backlight: Delete an error message for a failed memory allocation in radeonfb_bl_init()

[SF Markus Elfring]

Omit an extra message for a memory allocation failure in this function.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

[PATCH 2/5] radeon_backlight: Improve a size determination in radeonfb_bl_init()

[SF Markus Elfring]

Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

[PATCH 3/5] radeon_backlight: Delete an unnecessary return statement in radeonfb_bl_init()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2017 21:37:52 +0100

The script "checkpatch.pl" pointed information out like the following.

WARNING: void function return statements are not generally useful

Thus remove such a statement in the affected function.

[PATCH 4/5] radeon_backlight: Return directly after a failed kmalloc() in radeonfb_bl_init()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2017 21:50:28 +0100

Return directly after a call of the function "kmalloc" failed
at the beginning.

[PATCH 5/5] radeon_backlight: Delete a jump target in radeonfb_bl_init()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2017 22:03:03 +0100

* Replace a goto statement by a direct call of the function "kfree"
  in an if branch.

* Delete the jump label "error" which became unnecessary with
  this refactoring.
