Subject: [PATCH RFT 0/4] backlight: gpio: simplify the driver

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@...libre.com>

While working on my other series related to gpio-backlight[1] I noticed
that we could simplify the driver if we made the only user of platform
data use GPIO lookups and device properties. This series tries to do
that.

The first patch sets up all the required structures in the board file,
the second modifies the backlight driver, the third and fourth remove
the leftovers.

This series depends on the three first patches from [1].

I don't have access to this HW but hopefully this works. Only compile
tested.

Bartosz Golaszewski (4):
  sh: ecovec24: add additional properties to the backlight device
  backlight: gpio: simplify the platform data handling
  sh: ecovec24: don't set unused fields in platform data
  backlight: gpio: remove unused fields from platform data
