Since backlight core returns props.brightness in case get_brightness
is not implemented trivial implementations are not needed anymore.

There may be multiple ways of controlling the backlight on a given
machine. Allow drivers to expose the type of interface they are
providing, making it possible for userspace to make appropriate policy
decisions.

backlight_device_register has been expecting a const "ops" argument, and using
it as such, since 9905a43b2d. Let's make the
remaining backlight_ops instances const.

Values such as max_brightness should be set before backlights are
registered, but the current API doesn't allow that. Add a parameter to
backlight_device_register and update drivers to ensure that they
set this correctly.

The PMU backlight code would kick in during sleep/resume even on
machines that use a different backlight method. This breaks
sleep on some PowerBooks.
This fixes it by adding a flag to indicate whether the backlight
is controlled by the PMU, and testing that before trying to use
the PMU to turn off the backlight during sleep.

This fixes a few issues with via-pmu based backlight control.
First, it fixes a sign problem with the setup of the backlight
curve since the `range' value there -can- (and will) go negative.
Then, it reworks the interaction between this and the via-pmu sleep
code to properly restore backlight on wakeup from sleep.

Per device data such as brightness belongs to the indivdual device
and should therefore be separate from the the backlight operation
function pointers. This patch splits the two types of data and
allows simplifcation of some code.

backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the
header file. The external users of this are using it for a different
reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method.
backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal
serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing
things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to
take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all.
Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't
need it.
Also update the lcd class in a similar way.

Remove uneeded owner field from backlight_properties structure.
Nothing uses it and it is unlikely that it will ever be used. The
backlight class uses other means to ensure that nothing references
unloaded code.

The via-pmu backlight code (introduced in 2.6.18) has various design issues
causing crashes on machines using it like the old Wallstreet powerbook
(Michael, the author, never managed to test on these and I just got my hand
on one of those old beasts).
This fixes them by no longer trying to hijack the backlight device of the
frontmost framebuffer (causing that framebuffer to crash) but having it's
own local bits instead. Might look weird but it's better that way on those
old machines, at least as a last-minute fix for 2.6.18. We might rework
the whole thing later. This patch also changes the way it gets notified of
sleep and wakeup in order to properly shut the backlight down on sleep and
bring it back on wakeup.

This patch fixes several problems:
- The legacy backlight value might be set at interrupt time. Introduced
a worker to prevent it from directly calling the backlight code.
- via-pmu allows the backlight to be grabbed, in which case we need to
prevent other kernel code from changing the brightness.
- Don't send PMU requests in via-pmu-backlight when the machine is about
to sleep or waking up.
- More Kconfig fixes.

This patch contains a total rewrite of the backlight infrastructure for
portable Apple computers. Backward compatibility is retained. A sysfs
interface allows userland to control the brightness with more steps than
before. Userland is allowed to upload a brightness curve for different
monitors, similar to Mac OS X.
