On looking schematics, panel has three power controls LCD_BACKLIGHT_PWR, LCD_PANEL_PWR,
LCD_PWM0. On latest schematic, LCD_PWM0 is connected to ECAP instance 2. So backlight
can control through ECAP2 (not conflicting with SPI1 cs0). Still for controlling
backlight, require support for LCD_BACKLIGHT_PWR & LCD_PANEL_PWR. These signals
to be controlled by GPIO 2[8] & GPIO 2[15]. In release platform callbacks used
to control GPIO functionality. But with DT support, I have to check how platform
callbacks can be used.
