-led-backlight bindings
-
-This binding is used to describe a basic backlight device made of LEDs.
-It can also be used to describe a backlight device controlled by the output of
-a LED driver.
-
-Required properties:
-  - compatible: "led-backlight"
-  - leds: a list of LEDs
-
-Optional properties:
-  - brightness-levels: Array of distinct brightness levels. The levels must be
-                       in the range accepted by the underlying LED devices.
-                       This is used to translate a backlight brightness level
-                       into a LED brightness level. If it is not provided, the
-                       identity mapping is used.
-
-  - default-brightness-level: The default brightness level.
-
-Example:
-
-	backlight {
-		compatible = "led-backlight";
-
-		leds = <&led1>, <&led2>;
-		brightness-levels = <0 4 8 16 32 64 128 255>;

-pwm-backlight bindings
-
-Required properties:
-  - compatible: "pwm-backlight"
-  - pwms: OF device-tree PWM specification (see PWM binding[0])
-  - 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.
-  - 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).
-  - num-interpolated-steps: Number of interpolated steps between each value
-                            of brightness-levels table. This way a high
-                            resolution pwm duty cycle can be used without
-                            having to list out every possible value in the
-                            brightness-level array.
