I will fix that.

Yes,  You told me not to worry about doing a PWM backlight because the
legacy board does not PWM either.

I have schematic 1016572 dated Wednesday, August 18, 2010.  According
to it, AXR15 / EPWMN0_TZ[0] / ECAP2_APWM2 / GPIO0[7] connects to U25,
Pin 46 to generate M_LCD_PWM0.  You might have one of the early,
pre-release versions.

I can do that.

The gpio-backlight does not have a way that I can see to associate the
regulator to it.  I read through the bindings, but I didn't see an
option to associate a regulator it.  I use this regulator to drive
lcd_backlight_pwr and the backlight driver to write lcd_pwm0.  Without
this option, the system disables lcd_backlight_pwr and the screen is
blank
