It seems that some laptops will report having both an eDP and LVDS connector, even though only the LVDS connector is actually hooked up. This can lead to issues with backlight registration if the eDP connector ends up getting registered before the LVDS connector, as the backlight device will then be registered to the eDP connector instead of the LVDS connector.
So, fix this by only registering the backlight on connectors that are reported as being connected.
