Since the pwm-backlight driver is lacking a proper maintainer and is the heaviest user of the PWM framework I'm taking over maintenance.

I contacted Richard Purdie and requested his Acked-by for this because he's the backlight subsystem maintainer. Unfortunately he hasn't answered yet. Looking at the commit log, every commit in the last 2+ years has gone through your tree, which seems to be reason enough for me to take over this driver but I still wanted to get an Acked-by at least from you so that this doesn't look like hijacking. I've also Cc'ed a couple of people that have done work on the driver in the past to give them a chance to object or send their Acked-by. Obviously I will take this patch through my tree so this is not a request to include it in your tree.
