Why not simply:
+ if (gpio_is_valid(lcd->gpio_backlight_cont))
+ gpio_set_value_cansleep(lcd->gpio_backlight_cont, cont);
If you read the gpiolib code and documentation, what you will realise is
that the two calls are identical except for the "might_sleep_if()" in
gpio_set_value_cansleep(). You will also note that gpiolib itself _only_
calls gpio_set_value_cansleep() without checking gpio_cansleep() in
contexts where sleeping is possible. So if it's good enough for gpiolib,
it should be good enough here.
