[V3,2/2] pwm_bl: Add mandatory backlight enable regulator

Commit Message

[e-mail] March 13, 2013, 10:33 p.m. UTC

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.

Minor modification to pwm_backlight_enable() and pwm_backlight_disable(),
to keep the error value of the regulator call and report the error value
in the case of an error, from Peter and Thierry's feedback.  Used "ret"
to be consistent with the rest of the driver.
