The note in c2adda27d202f ("video: backlight: Add of_find_backlight helper
in backlight.c") says that gpio-backlight uses brightness as power state.
Other backlight drivers do not, so limit this workaround to gpio-backlight.
This fixes the case where e.g. pwm-backlight can perfectly well be set to
brightness 0 on boot in DT, which without this patch leads to the display
brightness to be max instead of off.

I have to admit that this patch really does makes it clear just how
nasty the hack in of_find_backlight() currently is.
Moreover I think it is also be obsolete. gpio-backlight power mode
handling was pretty broken when this code was introduced. It was fixed
in 2019 by ec665b756e6f ("backlight: gpio backlight: Correct initial
power state handling") by trying to match the behaviour of PWM
backlight. The new code always sets the brightness to 1 so I think we
can just remove the hack from of_find_backlight() since I think it is
unreachable.
Daniel.

I assume by "new code" you mean the fixed gpio-backlight driver ?
Dropping the whole code after the Note: is fine by me.

I haven't actually tested it, but when I saw the patch that Daniel
points to, it looked like this work around could be removed.
I haven't got time to tests it, but I will ack a patch that removes the
hack.
