While integrated in the panel module, the backlight is a separate piece of 
hardware, which could be controlled through other means (I2C for instance). 
Wouldn't it be better to add an explicit DT node for the backlight device and 
reference that node from the panel node ?

Yes, I agree, but do we have the infrastructure or bindings for that?

Ah, I see we now do have a gpio-backlight driver, but it doesn't have DT
bindings.

Seems there's a patch from Denis Carikli for this, which will probably
be merged for 3.15.

I realized I don't actually use panel-dpi at the moment in my OMAP DSS
DT series, as I dropped the board changes that used panel-dpi. So I'll
drop panel-dpi bindings from my series, and the backlight for panel-dpi
can then be fixed for 3.16.
