This is now commit 821a1f7171aeea5e ("dt-bindings: display: Convert
common panel bindings to DT schema").

This paragraph seems to apply to all nodes named "backlight", causing
e.g. (for ARCH=arm mach_shmobile_defconfig) "make dtbs_check
DT_SCHEMA_FILES=Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/panel-common.yaml"
to start complaining:

arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7740-armadillo800eva.dt.yaml: backlight:
{'compatible': ['pwm-backlight'], 'pwms': [[40, 2, 33333, 1]],
'brightness-levels': [[0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 255]],
'default-brightness-level': [[9]], 'pinctrl-0': [[41]],
'pinctrl-names': ['default'], 'power-supply': [[42]], 'enable-gpios':
[[15, 61, 0]]} is not of type 'array'
arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7740-armadillo800eva.dt.yaml: backlight:
{'groups': ['tpu0_to2_1'], 'function': ['tpu0'], 'phandle': [[41]]} is
not of type 'array'

Do you know what's wrong?

Thanks!
