The note in c2adda27d202f ("video: backlight: Add of_find_backlight helper

This has been fixed since in ec665b756e6f7 ("backlight: gpio-backlight:
Correct initial power state handling") and other backlight drivers do not
require this workaround. Drop the workaround.

This fixes the case where e.g. pwm-backlight can perfectly well be set to
brightness 0 on boot in DT, which without this patch leads to the display
brightness to be max instead of off.

Any news on this ?

Expanding CC list.

Looks like I was left off of the original submission.

I can't apply a quoted patch.  Please re-submit.

I see. It seems the patch is available in both Lore and Patchwork:
