In my opinion, LMS501KF03 can have nothing but PWM backlight as a backlight control.
As can be seen at datasheet of LMS501KF03 LCD panel, LMS501KF03 LCD panel is designed to use PWM backlight.
So, if PWM is not available, backlight framework is not necessary
because it is not possible to control backlight without PWM.
Also, only LCD framework can be used for LMS501KF03 LCD panel in this case.
To sum up, please remove backlight control functions above.
