[PATCH v3 1/2] apple_bl: Add register/unregister functions

From: Seth Forshee
Date: Thu Mar 15 2012 - 17:32:43 EST


Add functions to allow other modules to enable or disable apple_bl. This
will be used by the gmux driver to disable apple_bl when the gmux is
present, as it is a better and more reliable option for brightness
control.
