You missed adding to the docstring for brightness and max_brightness.

Also: why do you need your own copy of these two values?  Couldn't you
just store the "struct backlight_device *" that came back from
"devm_backlight_device_register()" and then reference
bl->props.brightness / bl->props.max_brightness?

Ideally you should be error checking your reads.  I know this driver
isn't very good about error checking the regmap reads in general, but
probably that should be fixed.  Certainly i2c-backed regmaps can have
failures and you will then do your math on whatever uninitialized
memory was on the stack.  That seems bad.

Presumably you'll then want to return the error code from this
function?  If for some reason you don't, your function should just
return the val instead of passing by reference.

Different panels have different requirements for PWM frequency.  Some
may also have different duty-cycle to brightness curves that differ
based on the PWM frequency and it would be nice to make sure we know
what frequency we're at rather than getting something random-ish.  It
feels like you need to be less hand-wavy.  You should presumably
specify the desired frequency in the device tree and then do the math.

While technically it works OK to conflate brightness = 0 with
backlight disabled (the PWM driver exposed by the Chrome OS EC does,
at least), I believe the API in Linux does make a difference.  Why not
match the Linux API.  If Linux says that the backlight should be at
brightness 50 but should be off, set the brightness to 50 and turn the
backlight off.  If it says set the brightness to 0 and turn it on,
honor it.

I believe (but haven't tested) one side effect of the way you're doing
is is that:

set_brightness(50)
blank()
unblank()
get_brightness()

...will return 0, not 50.  I believe (but haven't tested) that if you
don't implement get_brightness() it would fix things,

backlight_is_blank() instead of open-coding?  ...or you somehow don't
want the extra test for "BL_CORE_SUSPENDED" ?

As per comments in ti_sn_backlight_update(), IMO you want to keep
enabled / disabled state separate from brightness.

Just to be neat and tidy, I'd expect something in the above would do a
pm_runtime_get_sync() when the backlight first turns on and
pm_runtime_put() when the backlight goes blank.  Right now you're
relying on the fact that the backlight is usually turned on later in
the sequence, but it shouldn't hurt to add an extra pm_runtime
reference and means you're no longer relying on the implicitness.
