Add devm_drm_of_find_backlight and the corresponding release
function because some drivers such as tinydrm use devres versions
of functions for requiring device resources.

This is an internal function so no need for docs or exporting. I know
that some devm_ functions have explicit release functions, but I don't
think this is necessary since those users can just use
drm_of_find_backlight() directly instead.
I have a question here. devm_drm_of_find_backlight_release is a
wrapper around put_device which is passed as a parameter to
devm_add_action in devm_drm_of_find_backlight. So isn't the function
useful here ?
We need the function for devm_add_action(), but no one outside of this
file needs
it. Hence the static definition.
We can't use put_device directly:
ret = devm_add_action(dev, put_device,
&backlight->dev);
because devm_add_action expects an argument like this: void
(*action)(void *)
and put_device is: void put_device(struct device *dev)
They differ in their argument type: void * vs. struct device *
The compiler would complain.
So we need a wrapper.

We need a dummy version of devm_drm_of_find_backlight() here that
returns NULL as in the previous patch.

I'd appreciate if you could also switch mi0283qt over to this helper :-)
