While working on my other series related to gpio-backlight[1] I noticed that we could simplify the driver if we made the only user of platform data use GPIO lookups and device properties. This series tries to do that.
The first patch adds all necessary data structures to ecovec24. Patch 2/7 unifies much of the code for both pdata and non-pdata cases. Patches 3-4/7 remove unused platform data fields. Last three patches contain additional improvements for the GPIO backlight driver while we're already modifying it.
I don't have access to this HW but hopefully this works. Only compile tested.

v1 -> v2: - rebased on top of v5.3-rc1 and adjusted to the recent changes from Andy - added additional two patches with minor improvements
Bartosz Golaszewski (7): sh: ecovec24: add additional properties to the backlight device backlight: gpio: simplify the platform data handling sh: ecovec24: don't set unused fields in platform data backlight: gpio: remove unused fields from platform data backlight: gpio: remove dev from struct gpio_backlight backlight: gpio: remove def_value from struct gpio_backlight backlight: gpio: use a helper variable for &pdev->dev
