[PATCH] mx3fb: some debug and initialisation fixes.

Fix the kernel oops when dev_dbg is called with mx3_fbi->txd == NULL

Fix the late initialisation of mx3fb->backlight_level.
If not, in the chain of function started by init_fb_chan(), in __blank() call 
sdc_set_brightness(mx3fb, mx3fb->backlight_level) that will shut down
the CONTRAST PWM output.
