Subject: [PATCH 0/7] fbdev: Use backlight helpers

backlight_properties.fb_blank is deprecated. The states it represents
are handled by other properties; but instead of accessing those
properties directly, drivers should use the helpers provided by
backlight.h, even in cases where fb_blank isn't involved.

This will ultimately allow fb_blank to be removed.
