The backlight driver supports getting passed platform data. However this
isn't used. This allows to remove quite some dead code from the driver
because bl->pdata is always NULL, and so bl->mode is always
LP8788_BL_REGISTER_ONLY.

 - Also drop struct pwm_device *pwm member from struct lp8788_bl

I'm surprised that this didn't fail to compile ...

Best regards
Uwe

I may be wrong but I think this driver can only be loaded manually
from userspace. On that basis its hugely likely that the entire driver is
dead code (along with the rest of the lp8788 drivers across
the kernel).

However, that's not an objection to this change:

Does not apply.

Please rebase onto v6.9-rc1 or for-backlight-next.
