We need a callback to do some things after pwm_enable, pwm_disable
and pwm_config.

In systems with multiple framebuffer devices, one of the devices might be
blanked while another is unblanked. In order for the backlight blanking
logic to know whether to turn off the backlight for a particular
framebuffer's blanking notification, it needs to be able to check if a
given framebuffer device corresponds to the backlight.
This plumbs the check_fb hook from core backlight through the
pwm_backlight helper to allow platform code to plug in a check_fb hook.

There may be multiple ways of controlling the backlight on a given
machine. Allow drivers to expose the type of interface they are
providing, making it possible for userspace to make appropriate policy
decisions.

The intensity of the backlight can be varied from a range of
max_brightness to zero. Though most, if not all the pwm based backlight
devices start flickering at lower brightness value. And also for each
device there exists a brightness value below which the backlight appears
to be turned off though the value is not equal to zero.
If the range of brightness for a device is from zero to max_brightness. A
graph is plotted for brightness Vs intensity for the pwm based backlight
device has to be a linear graph.
intensity
| /
| /
| /
|/
---------
0 max_brightness
But pratically on measuring the above we note that the intensity of
backlight goes to zero(OFF) when the value in not zero almost nearing to
zero(some x%). so the graph looks like
intensity
| /
| /
| /
| |
------------
0 x max_brightness
In order to overcome this drawback knowing this x% i.e nothing but the low
threshold beyond which the backlight is off and will have no effect, the
brightness value is being offset by the low threshold value(retaining the
linearity of the graph). Now the graph becomes
intensity
| /
| /
| /
| /
-------------
0 max_brightness
With this for each and every digit increment in the brightness from zero
there is a change in the intensity of backlight. Devices having this
behaviour can set the low threshold brightness(lth_brightness) and pass
the same as platform data else can have it as zero.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Values such as max_brightness should be set before backlights are
registered, but the current API doesn't allow that. Add a parameter to
backlight_device_register and update drivers to ensure that they
set this correctly.

When suspending, pwm-bl sets duty cycle to 0, and shuts down the pwm
device.
This patch ensure that the platform code is called before that
(through the notify callback_, leaving a chance for the platform code
to configure GPIOs (shutting off the backlight, for example), much like
it is done during normal operations.

pdev->name as the backlight name when registering, which will be
