I'd still accept your driver with the legacy callbacks, mostly because
your effort is already that old (which I consider my fault mostly).

There is no nice documentation available yet. The improvements include:

 - arbitrary offsets for the duty cycle, so the active phase doesn't
   need to be at the start or the end of a period any more
 - consumers can query the result of a configuration request (before and
   also after the request was issued).

Both are of little importance if your focus is mostly backlights.

Best regards
Uwe
