So, I've acked all the backlight bits (if there's a v18 please include
the acks in the posting).

I've read the other patches and I *like* them. Switching to 
backlight_enable()/disable() looks like a good way to ensure
drivers don't interact with all those flags in unexpected ways
(so its a good contribution to eventually cleaning them up).
