Subject: [PATCH v3] 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.
With 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 the display was blanked, or the machine
was turned off, without touching it.
The invert sysfs control is patterned after a similiar function of the
GPIO trigger driver.
Created and tested against linux-2.6.37 on Amstrad Delta.

v2 -> v3 changes, all provided, requested or inspired by Andrew Morton
(thanks!):
- sysfs file should show "0" or "1" to match the thing which the user
wrote there,
- use strict_strtoul() so the kernel correctly rejects non-numerical
input,
- disallow any input other than 0 or 1,
- new sysfs file should be documented,
- the new sysfs file name could be consistent with the one already used
by the gpio trigger for a similiar function.
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.
