The note in c2adda27d202f ("video: backlight: Add of_find_backlight helper in backlight.c") says that gpio-backlight uses brightness as power state. This has been fixed since in ec665b756e6f7 ("backlight: gpio-backlight: Correct initial power state handling") and other backlight drivers do not require this workaround. Drop the workaround.
This fixes the case where e.g. pwm-backlight can perfectly well be set to brightness 0 on boot in DT, which without this patch leads to the display brightness to be max instead of off.

I not sure about the rules, but if this is automatically picked up for stable, maybe this is needed to avoid changing behaviour on 4.19:
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 5.4+
of_find_backlight() was added in 4.17 and the gpio fix in 5.4.
Or perhaps there are other ways to signal this dependency.
