Many backlights are enabled via GPIO. We can generalize the GPIO to a fixed regulator. The enable regulator needs to be mandatory because there was no good way to determine the difference between opting out of the regulator, and probe deferral. This series of patches is intended to add a dummy regulator (or a GPIO regulator) for all users of the pwm-backlight. The last patch in the series will always be the pwm-backlight change to add this mandatory regulator. Patches following up to that patch add the mandatory regulator on a per mach family basis. Once all users of pwm-backlight have been patched, this series can be applied in order to maintain bisectability. All I did in every case was to provide a dummy fixed regulator to pwm-backlight. If your platform actually uses a regulator (or a GPIO) to enable the backlight, please either let me know so that I can make the modifications and give you something back to test. Or (better yet), provide me with a tested, alternate patch that I can fold into this patch series. I made sure that where there was a defconfig for an affected board, that it builds. I did not test-build the unicore patch. V3 and earlier versions of this series only had the OMAP patch, which I used for ironing out some early, obvious stuff. V4 and later is the complete patch set.
