Arun Murthy fef7764f8b backlight: add low threshold to pwm backlight
The intensity of the backlight can be varied from a range of
max_brightness to zero.  Though most, if not all the pwm based backlight
devices start flickering at lower brightness value.  And also for each
device there exists a brightness value below which the backlight appears
to be turned off though the value is not equal to zero.

If the range of brightness for a device is from zero to max_brightness.  A
graph is plotted for brightness Vs intensity for the pwm based backlight
device has to be a linear graph.

intensity
	  |   /
	  |  /
	  | /
	  |/
	  ---------
	 0	max_brightness

But pratically on measuring the above we note that the intensity of
backlight goes to zero(OFF) when the value in not zero almost nearing to
zero(some x%).  so the graph looks like

intensity
	  |    /
	  |   /
	  |  /
	  |  |
	  ------------
	 0   x	 max_brightness

In order to overcome this drawback knowing this x% i.e nothing but the low
threshold beyond which the backlight is off and will have no effect, the
brightness value is being offset by the low threshold value(retaining the
linearity of the graph).  Now the graph becomes

intensity
	  |     /
	  |    /
	  |   /
	  |  /
	  -------------
	   0	  max_brightness

With this for each and every digit increment in the brightness from zero
there is a change in the intensity of backlight.  Devices having this
behaviour can set the low threshold brightness(lth_brightness) and pass
the same as platform data else can have it as zero.
