[PATCH v1 15/16] drm/panel: add backlight support

Panels often supports backlight as specified in a device tree.
Update the drm_panel infrastructure to support this to
simplify the drivers.

With this the panel driver just needs to add the following to the
probe() function:

    err = drm_panel_of_backlight(panel);
    if (err)
            return err;

Then drm_panel will handle all the rest.
