[PATCH] pwm-backlight: Take over maintenance

[Thierry Reding]

Since the pwm-backlight driver is lacking a proper maintainer and is the
heaviest user of the PWM framework I'm taking over maintenance.

Andrew: As previously discussed this patch makes me the new maintainer
for the pwm-backlight driver. I contacted Richard Purdie and requested
his Acked-by for this because he's the backlight subsystem maintainer.
Unfortunately he hasn't answered yet. Looking at the commit log, every
commit in the last 2+ years has gone through your tree, which seems to
be reason enough for me to take over this driver but I still wanted to
get an Acked-by at least from you so that this doesn't look like
hijacking. I've also Cc'ed a couple of people that have done work on
the driver in the past to give them a chance to object or send their
Acked-by.

Obviously I will take this patch through my tree so this is not a
request to include it in your tree.
