gpiod_get_value() gives out a warning if access to the underlying gpiochip
requires sleeping, which is common for I2C based chips:

This was missed in commit 0c9501f823 ("backlight: pwm_bl: Handle gpio
that can sleep"). The code was then moved to a separate function in
commit 7613c92231 ("backlight: pwm_bl: Move the checks for initial power
state to a separate function").
The only usage of gpiod_get_value() is during the probe stage, which is
safe to sleep in. Switch to gpiod_get_value_cansleep().

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.
