[RESEND PATCH v5 3/5] pwm-backlight: add support for PWM delays proprieties.

From: Enric Balletbo i Serra
Date: Fri Feb 16 2018 - 12:41:27 EST


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-ms and pwm-off-delay-ms proprieties to meet
the timings.

Changes since v4:
- Rebased on top of mainline.
- Added the acks from Pavel Machek, Daniel thompson and Jingoo Han
Changes since v3:
- Use two named members instead of pwm_delay[] (Daniel and Pavel)
- Use msleep instead of usleep_range. (Pavel)
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.
