+gpio-backlight bindings
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible: "gpio-backlight"
+ - gpios: describes the gpio that is used for enabling/disabling the backlight
+ (see GPIO binding[0] for more details).
+ - default-brightness-level: the default brightness level (can be 0(off) or
+ 1(on) since GPIOs only support theses levels).
+
+[0]: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/gpio.txt
+
+Example:
+
+ backlight {
+ compatible = "gpio-backlight";
+ gpios = <&gpio3 4 0>;
+ default-brightness-level = <1>;
+ };
