The backlight drivers uses several different patterns when registering
a backlight:

- Register backlight and assign properties later
- Define a local backlight_properties variable and use memset
- Define a const backlight_properties and assign relevant properties

On top of this there was differences in what members was assigned in
backlight_properties.

To align how backlight drivers are initialized introduce following helper 
macros:
- DECLARE_BACKLIGHT_INIT_FIRMWARE()
- DECLARE_BACKLIGHT_INIT_PLATFORM()
- DECLARE_BACKLIGHT_INIT_RAW()

The macros are introduced in patch 2.

The backlight drivers used direct access to backlight_properties.
Encapsulate these in get/set access operations resulting in following benefits:
- The drivers no longer need to be concerned about the confusing power states,
  as there is now only a set_power_on() and set_power_off() operation.
- The access methods can be called with a NULL pointer so logic around the
  access can be made simpler.
- The code is in most cases more readable with the access operations.
- When everyone uses the access methods refactroring in the backlight core is 
simpler.

The get/set operations are introduced in patch 3.

The first patch trims backlight_update_status() so it can be called with a NULL
backlight_device. Then the called do not need to add this check just to avoid
a NULL reference.

The fourth patch introduce the new macros and get/set operations for the
gpio backlight driver, as an example.

The remaining patches updates most backlight users in drivers/gpu/drm/*
With this patch set applied then:
- Almost all references to FB_BLANK* are gone from drm/*
- All panel drivers uses devm_ variant for registering backlight
- Almost all direct references to backlight properties are gone

The drm/* patches are  used as examples how drivers can benefit from the
new macros and get/set operations.

Individual patches are only sent to the people listed in the patch + a few more.
