This patch extends the LED backlight tirgger driver with an option that allows 
for inverting the trigger output polarity.

With the invertion option provided, I (ab)use the backlight trigger for 
driving a LED that indicates LCD display blank condtition on my Amstrad Delta 
videophone. Since the machine has no dedicated power LED, it was not possible 
to distinguish if the display was blanked, or the machine was turned off, 
without touching it.

The invert sysfs control is patterned after a similiar function of the GPIO 
trigger driver.

Created and tested against linux-2.6.36-rc5 on Amstrad Delta.
Retested on linux-2.6.37-rc4.

Resent because I still can't see any response received, while yet another 
merge window is going to pass away soon.

Applies cleanly on top of 2.6.37-rc4, so no need for yet another refresh. Only 
tried to clean up the commit message slightly - maybe my English is not good 
enough to bother with, if not the code?

v1 -> v2 changes:
- improve some conditional expressions to be more readable; thanks to Ralph 
  Corderoy (from e3-hacking) and Lars-Peter Clausen for their suggestions,
- refresh against linux-2.6.36-rc5.

I think this should show "0" or "1", to match the thing which the user
wrote here.

Here we should use strict_strtoul() so the kernel correctly rejects
input of the form "42foo".

And here it would be better to disallow any input other than 0 or 1. 
Because "2" makes no sense and who knows, some time in the future we
might *want* to permit 2.

So...

Could you help test it please?

This new sysfs file should be documented.  Where would be an
appropriate place for that?  Documentation/leds-class.txt doesn't
mention a sysfs API at all.
