Hi all,

This patch extends the gpio-backlight driver and its Device Tree
bindings to support multiple GPIOs for controlling a single
backlight device.

Some panels require more than one GPIO to enable or disable the
backlight, and previously the driver only supported a single GPIO.
With this change:
 - The driver now handles an array of GPIOs and updates all of them
   based on brightness state.
 - The Device Tree binding has been updated to allow specifying one
   or more GPIOs for a gpio-backlight node.

This approach avoids describing multiple backlight devices in DT for a
single panel.

Changes in v2:
 - Used devm_gpiod_get_array() and struct gpio_descs
 - Replaced per-index GPIO handling with descriptor array access
 - Moved the bitmap allocation to probe using devm_kcalloc().
 - Updated commit messages.

Thanks,
Anusha
