Probably "in-tree provider" would have been the better term. You can
convince you about that:

$ git grep -l platform_pwm_backlight_data | xargs grep pwm_id

That is, no machine used pwm_id to make the legacy lookup necessary.

Who will pick up this patch? Should I resend for s/user/provider/?

Best regards
Uwe
