+led-backlight bindings
+
+This binding is used to describe a basic backlight device made of
LEDs.
Ok.
+It can also be used to describe a backlight device controlled by the output of
+a LED driver.
? The LED driver should better be driving some LEDs...
Well. we are dependent of the board design. If a board designer decided
to control a backlight with a LED-controller, then we have to deal with it.
In practice there are a lot of LED drivers that actually drive the LEDs
using PWMs and can be used for this purpose.

+Required properties:
+ - compatible: "led-backlight"
+ - leds: a list of LEDs
+
+Optional properties:
+ - brightness-levels: Array of distinct brightness levels. The levels must be
+ in the range accepted by the underlying LED devices.
+ This is used to translate a backlight brightness level
+ into a LED brightness level. if not provided, the
+ identity mapping is used.
