The parent for the backlight device should be the drm-connector object, not the PCI device. Userspace relies on this to be able to detect which backlight class device to use on hybrid gfx devices where there may be multiple native (raw) backlight devices registered. Specifically gnome-settings-daemon expects the parent device to have an "enabled" sysfs attribute (as drm_connector devices do) and tests that this returns "enabled" when read. This aligns the parent of the backlight device with i915, nouveau, radeon. Note that drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/atombios_encoders.c also already uses the drm_connector as parent, only amdgpu_dm.c used the PCI device as parent before this change. Note this is marked as a RFC because I don't have hw to test, so this has only been compile tested! If someone can test this on actual hw which hits the changed code path that would be great.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
