This patch adds support for an "enable GPIO".
Before taking this kind of change is there a good reason why backlight should manage the GPIO? I thought that the LED subsystem was a sub system for LEDs (not LED controllers). In other words if you direct that the LED be lit up then isn't it the LED driver's job to manage the GPIO and ensure that it lights up?
Sorry... I should have paid more attention to my sense of déjà vu with this patch.
This approach was discussed and rejected when we first introduced the led_bl driver: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-leds/20190705100851.zn2jkipj4fxq5we6@devuan/
