pwm-backlight: Add rudimentary device tree support

This commit adds very basic support for device tree probing. Currently,
only a PWM and a list of distinct brightness levels can be specified.
Enabling or disabling backlight power via GPIOs is not yet supported.

+pwm-backlight bindings
+
+Required properties:
+  - compatible: "pwm-backlight"
+  - pwms: OF device-tree PWM specification (see PWM binding[0])
+  - brightness-levels: Array of distinct brightness levels. Typically these
+      are in the range from 0 to 255, but any range starting at 0 will do.
+      The actual brightness level (PWM duty cycle) will be interpolated
+      from these values. 0 means a 0% duty cycle (darkest/off), while the
+      last value in the array represents a 100% duty cycle (brightest).
+  - default-brightness-level: the default brightness level (index into the
+      array defined by the "brightness-levels" property)
+
+Optional properties:
+  - pwm-names: a list of names for the PWM devices specified in the
+               "pwms" property (see PWM binding[0])
+
+[0]: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pwm/pwm.txt

+Example:
+
+        backlight {
+                compatible = "pwm-backlight";
+                pwms = <&pwm 0 5000000>;
+
+                brightness-levels = <0 4 8 16 32 64 128 255>;
+                default-brightness-level = <6>;
+        };
