pwm-backlight bindings

Required properties:
  - compatible: "pwm-backlight"
  - pwms: OF device-tree PWM specification (see PWM binding[0])
  - brightness-levels: Array of distinct brightness levels. Typically these
      are in the range from 0 to 255, but any range starting at 0 will do.
      The actual brightness level (PWM duty cycle) will be interpolated
      from these values. 0 means a 0% duty cycle (darkest/off), while the
      last value in the array represents a 100% duty cycle (brightest).
  - default-brightness-level: the default brightness level (index into the
      array defined by the "brightness-levels" property)
  - power-supply: regulator for supply voltage

Optional properties:
  - pwm-names: a list of names for the PWM devices specified in the
               "pwms" property (see PWM binding[0])
  - enable-gpios: contains a single GPIO specifier for the GPIO which enables
                  and disables the backlight (see GPIO binding[1])
  - post-pwm-on-delay-ms: Delay in ms between setting an initial (non-zero) PWM
                          and enabling the backlight using GPIO.
  - pwm-off-delay-ms: Delay in ms between disabling the backlight using GPIO
                      and setting PWM value to 0.

Example:

	backlight {
		compatible = "pwm-backlight";
		pwms = <&pwm 0 5000000>;

		brightness-levels = <0 4 8 16 32 64 128 255>;
		default-brightness-level = <6>;

		power-supply = <&vdd_bl_reg>;
		enable-gpios = <&gpio 58 0>;
		post-pwm-on-delay-ms = <10>;
		pwm-off-delay-ms = <10>;
	};
