The display thermal device represents the LED/LCD display panel
that may or may not include touch support. The main function of
the display thermal device is to allow control of the display
brightness in order to address a thermal condition or to reduce
power consumed by display device.
Due to the way this thermal device changes brightness level is said
to be deprecated so we are using the raw interface to do the actual
backlight change. This requires the backlight core support so two
new APIs are added and exported in patch 1/3. With this, the previous
API backlight_device_registered can be removed and this is done in
patch 2/3. Patch 3/3 adds the new int3406 thermal driver.
Happy new year and best wishes!

2.1.0
INT3406 ACPI device object resembles an ACPI video output device, but its
_BCM is said to be deprecated and should not be used. So we will make
use of the raw interface to do the actual cooling. Due to this, the APIs
from backlight core are used to achieve this. Also, to re-use some of the
ACPI video module's code, one function has been exported.

It is useful to get the backlight device's pointer and use it to set
backlight in some cases(the following patch will make use of it) so add
the two APIs and export them.

Since we will need the backlight_device_get_by_type API, we can use it
instead of the backlight_device_registered API whenever necessary so
remove the backlight_device_registered API.
