Commit 4a6ef8e37c4d ("pwm: Add support referencing PWMs from ACPI")
made pwm_get unconditionally return the acpi_pwm_get return value if
the device passed to pwm_get has an ACPI fwnode.
But even if the passed in device has an ACPI fwnode, it does not
necessarily have the necessary ACPI package defining its pwm bindings,
especially since the binding / API of this ACPI package has only been
introduced very recently.
Up until now X86/ACPI devices which use a separate pwm controller for
controlling their LCD screen's backlight brightness have been relying
on the static lookup-list to get their pwm.
pwm_get unconditionally returning the acpi_pwm_get return value breaks
this, breaking backlight control on these devices.
This commit fixes this by making pwm_get fall back to the static
lookup-list if acpi_pwm_get returns -ENOENT.

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.
