First: There already is a sony-laptop-zseries-0.9np6 for 2.6.33 Kernel
releases:
http://www.logic.at/people/preining/software/sony-laptop-zseries-0.9np6.tar.gz


But, yes indeed, the module had to be changed again since the function
‘backlight_device_register’ became one more argument in 2.6.34.

I have atached the patch that needs to be applied on 0.9np6 to make it a
(for me) working 0.9np7.

Norbert, could you please take a look at this? It at least compiles and
works for me on 2.6.34-2 (0.9np6 did not)

Thanks!

Regards,

Raphael Gradenwitz
