Isn't modprobe supposed to be smart enough for things like this?

I'm afraid if modprobe isn't so capable, we may encounter the same
issue with other drivers and sometimes it is not so easy for
developers of aphasia like me to choose a better name :)

Currently both da903x backlight and voltage reulator drivers have the
same name. Rename the backlight driver to allow use of both drivers as
modules.
