[PATCH v4 01/10] backlight: Match backlight device against struct fb_info.bl_dev

Framebuffer drivers for devices with dedicated backlight are supposed
to set struct fb_info.bl_dev to the backlight's respective device. Use
the value to match backlight and framebuffer in the backlight core code.

The code first tests against struct backlight_ops.check_ops. If this
test succeeds, it performs the test against fbdev. So backlight drivers
can override the later test as before.

Fbdev's backlight support depends on CONFIG_FB_BACKLIGHT. To avoid
ifdef in the code, the new helper fb_bl_device() returns the backlight
device, or NULL if the config option has been disabled. The test in
the backlight code will then do nothing.

v4:
	* declare empty fb_bl_device() as static inline
	* export fb_bl_device()
v3:
	* hide ifdef in fb_bl_device() (Lee)
	* no if-else blocks (Andy)
