Why is it so unique to start with 100 and end with 0?  Does it even
work?  Here is what I read from bindings doc.
Yes, it works. The backlight control of the displays we typically use
is active low. This is a poor man's way to get an inverted PWM output!
(And one in which the number written to the sysfs file corresponds to
the actual duty cycle of the PWM output)
I think Linux pwm driver should be improved for this case rather than
manipulate device tree in a way that violate the defined bindings.
