Pull backlight updates from Lee Jones:
 "New Drivers:
   - Add support for Monolithic Power Systems MP3309C WLED Step-up Converter

  Fix-ups:
   - Use/convert to new/better APIs/helpers/MACROs instead of
     hand-rolling implementations
   - Device Tree Binding updates
   - Demote non-kerneldoc header comments
   - Improve error handling; return proper error values, simplify, avoid
     duplicates, etc
   - Convert over to the new (kinda) GPIOD API

  Bug Fixes:
   - Fix uninitialised local variable"

* tag 'backlight-next-6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lee/backlight:
  backlight: hx8357: Convert to agnostic GPIO API
  backlight: ili922x: Add an error code check in ili922x_write()

The Monolithic Power (MPS) MP3309C is a WLED step-up converter, featuring a
programmable switching frequency to optimize efficiency.
The brightness can be controlled either by I2C commands (called "analog"
mode) or by a PWM input signal (PWM mode).
This driver supports both modes.

For DT configuration details, please refer to:
- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/backlight/mps,mp3309c.yaml

The datasheet is available at:
- https://www.monolithicpower.com/en/mp3309c.html

It controls 4 channels of 8 series WLEDs in
2048 (only for MT6370/MT6371) / 16384 (only for MT6372)

The Kinetic KTD253 backlight driver is controlled with a
single GPIO line, but still supports a range of brightness
settings by sending fast pulses on the line.

This is based off the source code release for the Samsung
GT-S7710 mobile phone.

This driver has no in-kernel users. The device can only be populated
by board files since it does not support device tree nor ACPI,
and nothing in the kernel creates a device named "ot200-backlight".

This driver has been in the kernel since 2012. If it is used by
out-of-tree code that code should have been upstreamed by now,
it's been 8 years.

It uses the idiomatic forked GPIO of the CS5535 which combines
pin control and GPIO into its private custom interface, which
causes me a headache because that is not how we do things these
days: we creates separate pin control and GPIO drivers.

Delete this unused driver.
