Update the gpio-backlight binding to support configurations that require
more than one GPIO for enabling/disabling the backlight.

Why? Which devices need it? How a backlight would have three enable
GPIOs? I really do not believe, so you need to write proper hardware
justification.

There is no such syntax in the bindings, from where did you get it? Type
is already defined.

All this is some odd stuff - just to be clear, don't send us LLM output.
I don't want to waste my time to review microslop.

Was it done with help of Microslop?
