[GIT PULL] Backlight for v4.5

[GIT PULL] Backlight for v4.5

[Lee Jones]

Hi Linus,

Some of the patches in this set haven't had as long of a -next
soak-test as I normally like.  This is due to a combination of
me taking a vacation from -rc4 and unusually short -rc releases
during the v4.4 cycle.

I'm keen not to let down contributors so I am sending the pull-
request out in the full knowledge that a snot-o-gram might well
be winging it's way to me in receipt.  I have taken due care to
thoroughly build test the set as much as possible, but if there
are any issues I'll take the time to provide reason and
apologise in advance now.

The following changes since commit 1ec218373b8ebda821aec00bb156a9c94fad9cd4:

That makes no sense. The rc cycle for 4.4 was _longer_ than usual, not
unusually short. Exactly because I expected people to be off a bit
over the holidays. And while I have occasionally been off by a few
days for individual rc releases, every single 4.4 rc was on a Sunday
afternoon.

I've pulled the tree, but am baffled by your pull request.

For some reason I had it in my head that you usually release -rcs on a
fortnightly cycle.  You can safely ignore the 'unusually short' part,
but the remainder still stands and should make sense.  The patches in
this set have only had a few days soak test, but I'm hoping my AIAIAI
testing will stand and none of the builds will be adversely effected.
If they are, let me know and I'll fix posthaste.
