When switching the backlight on, the LCD may need some time to adjust
to the configured PWM duty cycle. Add a configurable delay between
configuring the PWM and enabling the backlight regulator to account
for this.

The subject talks about turning on the backlight regulator, but this 
only talks about the PWM.
