For drivers that support backlight, LCD and fbdev devices, fbdev has to be initialized last. See documentation for struct fbinfo.bl_dev.
The backlight name's index number comes from register_framebuffer(), which now happens after initializing the backlight device. So like in all other backlight drivers, we now give the backlight device a generic name without the fbdev index.
