The current behaviour is to return 0 when the framebuffer is blanked. A
few drivers do that so I thought it was the norm; and the backlight
core doesn't do that by default (and just uses dev->props.brightness).

It is not clear to me if that's the preferred behaviour. The
"backlight_get_brightness" function in backlight.h seems to suggest
that the current behaviour is correct, unless it is not supposed to be
used in the backlight_ops.get_brightness() callback. Then in that case
some other drivers get it wrong too.
