To be pedantic, we should downplay "backlight" in the DSI DCS brightness
control... there need not be a backlight, at all, for brightness control
(see AMOLED).

I'd rather see convenience helpers that are not tied to struct
backlight_device. You can add a one-line wrapper on top that takes
struct backlight_device pointer.

While at it, please name the helpers according to the DCS command.

The DCS spec says the max is either 0xff or 0xffff depending on the
implementation... this obviously affects the helpers as well.

And how about the backlight bits in write_control_display? I just fear
this is a simplistic view of brightness control on DSI, and this will
grow hairy over time. I think I'd rather see generic DSI DCS brightness
*helpers* in this file, and then *perhaps* a separate file for
brightness control in general.
