It is just behaving as an output GPIO line and for that reason I feel
that rather than adding a new regulator driver, it is better to augment
the gpio-crystalcove driver. I am planning to export as GPIO from PMIC
MFD driver by way of lookup table and use in display side. Will send RFC
patch soon.

Backlight control as I said is a new pwm cell.
