gpio-backlight does not have a brightness-levels array property!

I think it is also necessary to improve the docs of both properties to
distinguish between the meaning of default-on and
default-brightness-level. The result of setting default-on and
default-brightness level to zero is that the GPIO will be off (this is
correct behaviour but hard to figure out from the current text).

default-on is a control that can "enable" the backlight at boot when it
is not linked to a display in the DT (e.g. it is mostly for legacy
cases). When the backlight is linked to a display then the backlight
enable state will be automatically linked to the display enable state
instead.

default-brightness-level is useful for handling displays that
are still readable with the backlight off (e-ink, reflective/
transflexive LCD, etc), otherwise is should be absent or set to 1.

As above, depending on brightness-levels doesn't make any sense here.

Hi Alexandru,
same comments as for the 1/2 patch.
Many thanks
Philippe :-)
