1	pwm-backlight bindings
2	
3	Required properties:
4	  - compatible: "pwm-backlight"
5	  - pwms: OF device-tree PWM specification (see PWM binding[0])
6	  - brightness-levels: Array of distinct brightness levels. Typically these
7	      are in the range from 0 to 255, but any range starting at 0 will do.
8	      The actual brightness level (PWM duty cycle) will be interpolated
9	      from these values. 0 means a 0% duty cycle (darkest/off), while the
10	      last value in the array represents a 100% duty cycle (brightest).
11	  - default-brightness-level: the default brightness level (index into the
12	      array defined by the "brightness-levels" property)
13	  - power-supply: regulator for supply voltage
14	
15	Optional properties:
16	  - pwm-names: a list of names for the PWM devices specified in the
17	               "pwms" property (see PWM binding[0])
18	  - enable-gpios: contains a single GPIO specifier for the GPIO which enables
19	                  and disables the backlight (see GPIO binding[1])
20

24	Example:
25	
26		backlight {
27			compatible = "pwm-backlight";
28			pwms = <&pwm 0 5000000>;
29	
30			brightness-levels = <0 4 8 16 32 64 128 255>;
31			default-brightness-level = <6>;
32	
33			power-supply = <&vdd_bl_reg>;
34			enable-gpios = <&gpio 58 0>;
35		};
