What use is default-on here?

I'm guessing not much because there is no code in the driver to consume
it!

If there is a need to arrange a flicker-free backlight handover then
we should only use DT to handle that if the approach taken by other
drivers is not feasible (this is best demonstrated by
pwm_backlight_initial_power_state() ).

In short the approach is if not DT or no phandle link then turn the
backlight on (because noone else will) otherwise look at the current state
of the hardware and use that to inherit the power state (that is power
state, not brightness level).

To be honest flicker-free handover looks pretty hard for this driver.
It looks like we would have to flicker at some point so that we can
know exactly what brightness the hardware currently is.

160 is out of range...
