This driver has no in-kernel users. The device can only be populated by board files since it does not support device tree nor ACPI, and nothing in the kernel creates a device named "ot200-backlight".
This driver has been in the kernel since 2012. If it is used by out-of-tree code that code should have been upstreamed by now, it's been 8 years.
It uses the idiomatic forked GPIO of the CS5535 which combines pin control and GPIO into its private custom interface, which causes me a headache because that is not how we do things these days: we creates separate pin control and GPIO drivers.
Delete this unused driver.
