[PATCH] cr_backlight_probe allocates too little storage for struct cr_panel

From: Jesper Juhl

Hi,

The Coverity checker noticed that we allocate too little storage
for "struct cr_panel *crp" in cr_backlight_probe().
We allocate sizeof(crp) where we should really be
allocating sizeof(*crp) - or sizeof(struct cr_panel) - I
chose the first notation.
This patch should fix the problem.
