Yes you are right. Sorry, I hadn't carefully looked into all of them,
but now having checked the calls, it looks like they can all be replaced by
of_find_backlight. The only thing extra of_find_backlight is doing is
setting the brightness to be the maximum brightness which makes sense here.
I can send in a patch to replace these.
