Subject: [PATCH] backlight: pwm_bl: fix devicetree parsing with auto-generated brightness tables

From: Heiko Stuebner <heiko.stuebner@...com>

Commit 88ba95bedb79 ("backlight: pwm_bl: Compute brightness of LED linearly
to human eye") made the parse-dt function return early when using an auto-
generated brightness-table, but didn't take into account that some more
settings were handled below the brightness handling, like power-on-delays
and also setting the pdata enable-gpio to -EINVAL.

This surfaces for example in the case of a backlight without any
enable-gpio which then tries to use gpio-0 in error.

Fix this by simply moving the trailing settings above the brightness
handling.
