Are you sure this is pm_backlight, it should have printed pwm_backlight 
as that is the name for the PMIC bases PWM. I checked the code and I 
have not made a typo there.

This means that this device is using PMIC base PWM and not LPSS. I have 
heard from Brain, that my CRC PWM driver is also broken in latest kernel 
which should be probably used in this device. I am looking into that 
separately.
