Many backlights need to be explicitly enabled.  Typically, this is done
with a GPIO.  For flexibility, we generalize the enable mechanism to a
regulator.

If an enable regulator is not needed, then a dummy regulator can be given
to the backlight driver.  If a GPIO is used to enable the backlight,
then a fixed regulator can be instantiated to control the GPIO.

The backlight enable regulator can be specified in the device tree node
for the backlight, or can be done with legacy board setup code in the
usual way.

Would it not be better to have some locking here since the code started to use
flag for state tracking?

I don't think that's necessary. The backlight core already uses the
ops_lock mutex to serial accesses. I just noticed that the documentation
mentions that update_lock is used for this purpose, but the code doesn't
use it after it is initialized. Still, the ops_lock should be enough.

I think I prefer the '!= 0'.  Without it, it looks at first glance
like regulator_enable() is following boolean semantics,
so it reads kind of weird.  But I'll defer to Thierry on this
one.  Thierry, what's your preference?

Why not assign the return value of regulator_enable() to a variable, for
instance "err", and make that part of the warning message so that people
will have a better chance to diagnose what's going wrong?

That's a good idea.  I'll have that modification in the next patch series that I
post.
