Subject: [PATCH v2] backlight: led_bl: fix initial power state

The condition for the initial power state based on the default
brightness value is reversed. Fix it.

Furthermore, use the actual state of the LEDs rather than the default
brightness specified in the devicetree as the latter should not cause
the backlight to be automatically turned on.

If the backlight device is not linked to any display, set the initial
power to on unconditionally.

Fixes: ae232e45acf9 ("backlight: add led-backlight driver")

Changes in v2:
- Use the reported LED state to set initial power state
- Always power on if no phandle in DT

I was rather expecting to see a comment in the code here... it's super
hard to figure out the purpose of the phandle check otherwise.
