I think the cnp_setup_backlight comment is appropriate as-is because
we're still only using one controller for ICP. We should probably only
update it if we start using ICP's second controller (because we never
tested controller 1 and we don't know if the code is actually 100%
prepared for the future). Do you have any specific suggestions on what
to write here?

Pretty much because there's no use for it for now.
