[PATCH 1/2] video: backlight: Support PWMs without a known period_ns

[Alper Nebi Yasak]

The PWM device provided by Chrome OS EC doesn't really support anything
other than setting a relative duty cycle. To support it as a backlight,
this patch makes the PWM period optional in the device tree and pretends
the valid brightness range is its period_ns.
