As far as I remember this line is there in order to pass in a period if
the backlight driver is initialized from board setup files. In such a
case there won't be an period associated with the PWM channel in the
first place.
I think even with the introduction of a default period, we'd be missing
out on the board setup case because there is no standard place where it
is being set, so it must come from the platform data.
