Subject: [RESEND] [PATCH v2] LEDS: Add output invertion option to backlight trigger

This patch extends the LED backlight tirgger driver with an option that allows 
for inverting the trigger output polarity.

Whith the invertion option provided, I (ab)use the backlight trigger for 
driving a led that indicates LCD display blank condtition on my Amstrad Delta 
videophone. Since the machine has no dedicated power LED, it was not possible 
to distinguish if its display was blanked or it was turned off, without 
touching it.

The invert sysfs control is modeled after a similiar function provided by the 
gpio trigger driver.

Created and tested against linux-2.6.36-rc5 on Amstrad Delta.

Resent because of no response received in more than 2 weeks.

v1 -> v2 changes:
- improve some conditional expressions to be more readable; thanks to Ralph 
  Corderoy (from e3-hacking) and Lars-Peter Clausen for their suggestions,
- refresh against linux-2.6.36-rc5.
