Hi Andrew,
This looks good, one minor comment below. I think it might make sense to
post this patch as part of a series that includes the change to the
pwm-backlight driver. This will make things easier on potential testers.
You can later extend that series to include all the other users and
eventually the whole series can be merged.

I think I'd prefer to spell out "backlight-enable". I know it's rather
long but I find it is much easier on the eye to look at the various
outputs where the string is used and see "backlight" instead of "bl".
But it's really up to the OMAP crowd, if everybody else is fine with
"bl-enable" I'll shut up.
