backlight: Add support for Orient Chip OCP8178

This commit adds a driver for the Orient Chip OCP8178 backlight controller.
The driver implements a vendor-specific onewire protocol over GPIO to set
static brightness levels.

[Severity: High]
Will the backlight fail to turn on after a system suspend cycle?

Since BL_CORE_SUSPENDRESUME is set in ocp8178_bl_ops, the backlight core
calls ocp8178_bl_update_status() upon system resume. During suspend, the
GPIO controller may pull the control pin low.

If the pin remains low for more than 2.5ms (OCP8178_T_OFF_US), the chip
shuts down and will power back up in its default PWM mode.

Because ocp8178_bl_update_status() immediately sends 1-wire commands without
verifying state or re-running ocp8178_bl_enable_onewire(), will the chip
misinterpret these 1-wire signals as tiny PWM pulses instead of restoring
the brightness level?

Does the platform driver need pm_ops to re-initialize the 1-wire mode state
before the backlight core attempts to update the brightness?
