Many backlights need to be explicitly enabled. Typically, this is done
with a GPIO. For flexibility, we generalize the enable mechanism to a
regulator.
If an enable regulator is not needed, then a dummy regulator can be given
to the backlight driver. If a GPIO is used to enable the backlight,
then a fixed regulator can be instantiated to control the GPIO.
The backlight enable regulator can be specified in the device tree node
for the backlight, or can be done with legacy board setup code in the
usual way.

Removed "pb->enable_supply = NULL;" per Alex's suggestion, since probe fails
in this case anyway, and on next probe (if probe is deferred) will assign
to pb->enable_supply before accessing it.
Updated the commit message to provide a description of the purpose of the
new mandatory regulator, and tweaked verbiage to not be device tree
specific.
I intend to follow up with patches to fix all existing machines that use the
pwm_bl driver.
