[PATCH] backlight: add regulator support for platform_lcd driver

The power source to the lcd panel or the lcd interface such as lvds
transmitters could be controlled by a regulator supply. Add support
for enabling/disabling the regulator when switching power to lcd.

Two new elements 'min_uV' and 'max_uV' in the platform data are added
to allow platform code to specifiy the desired output voltage from the
regulator.
