Add a driver for the Orient Chip OCP8178 backlight controller.

The OCP8178 supports either PWM or a vendor-specific onewire protocol
over GPIO. This driver implements the onewire protocol, which enables
setting static brightness levels without requiring a continuous PWM
signal from the host CPU. Note that while the vendor calls the protocol
1-Wire, it is not the 1-Wire protocol from Dallas Semiconductor as
implemented in drivers/w1.
