Some panels (i.e. N116BGE-L41), in their power sequence specifications,
request a delay between set the PWM signal and enable the backlight and
between clear the PWM signal and disable the backlight. Add support for
the new post-pwm-on-delay-us and pwm-off-delay-us proprieties to meet
the timings.

Changes since v2:
- Move the pwm/enable sequence to another patch (Thierry Reding)
Changes since v1:
- As suggested by Daniel Thompson
- Do not assume power-on delay and power-off delay will be the same
- Move the check of dt property to the parse dt function.

Two named members would be better here (eliminating the "magic" 0 and 1).
