This small file seems to be an attempt to start documenting
backlight drivers.
It contains descriptions of the controls for the driver
with could sound as an somewhat user-faced description, but
it's main focus is to describe, instead, the data that should
be passed via platform data and some driver-specific stuff.

Platform data for lp855x
------------------------
For supporting platform specific data, the lp855x platform data can be used.
-* name : Backlight driver name. If it is not defined, default name is set.
-* device_control : Value of DEVICE CONTROL register.
-* initial_brightness : Initial value of backlight brightness.
-* period_ns : Platform specific PWM period value. unit is nano.
- Only valid when brightness is pwm input mode.
-* size_program : Total size of lp855x_rom_data.
-* rom_data : List of new eeprom/eprom registers.
