The note in c2adda27d202f ("video: backlight: Add of_find_backlight helper
in backlight.c") says that gpio-backlight uses brightness as power state.
This has been fixed since in ec665b756e6f7 ("backlight: gpio-backlight:
Correct initial power state handling") and other backlight drivers do not
require this workaround. Drop the workaround.
This fixes the case where e.g. pwm-backlight can perfectly well be set to
brightness 0 on boot in DT, which without this patch leads to the display
brightness to be max instead of off.

I not sure about the rules, but if this is automatically picked up for
stable, maybe this is needed to avoid changing behaviour on 4.19:
Cc: <redacted> # 5.4+
of_find_backlight() was added in 4.17 and the gpio fix in 5.4.
Or perhaps there are other ways to signal this dependency.

Agree we need to make sure the Fixes: tag doesn't provoke regressions
in v4.19.
Is this the syntax appropriate?

With the above (or something similar to avoid problems with v4.19):
