Overall looks fine. A few questions below about the GPIOs, though.

Why do you want to export these GPIOs? They are handled here in the
board file, and I don't think there's any reason the userspace would
need to touch them.

These are already set to 0 in gpio_request_array, as you've defined the
flag "GPIOF_OUT_INIT_LOW".

What does this do, and why do you need msleep(50)? I understand
LCD_ENABLE gpio enables the LCD panel, but what exactly do LCD_BACKLIGHT
and LCD_PWM gpios do? Why don't you set/unset LCD_PWM in the panel
enable/disable functions like the other gpios?
