do you have any comments on this?

This patch fixes premature backlight illumination issues for DT probed
devices with enable gpio or regulator without changing the behavior of
the non-DT case or DT cases where the enable gpio and regulator are kept
initially enabled or where no other device node points to the backlight
via phandle.

I need Thierry's review to move forward on this.
