[PATCH v2 03/24] backlight: Add get/set operations for brightness properties

Add get and set operations to incapsualte access to backlight brightness.

One easy win is that the get/set operations can be used when backlight
is not included in the configuration, resulting in simpler code with
less ifdef's and thus more readable code.

The backlight_enable_brightness() update the brightness and enable
the backlight.

The backlight_update_brightness() force the brightness update and
typical usage is to set brightness after registering a backlight device.
