Looks ok but there are a few minor niggles.

Would be better with a prefix.

Locks aren't very common in backlight drivers. Why isn't the ops_lock
sufficient?

Deadlock.

This is not the idiomatic name usually used for this type of function.
In fact since this driver purely uses device properties then this code
could just be merged into the probe function.

Does there need to be a warning on this?

It's code pattern is common but the DT docs have formalized a lot
recently. The DT docs in patch 1 say these are optional... so
why does it justify a warning of they are omitted? There is nothing
wrong! Is it better to specify the defaults in the bindings and
then the kernel can say nothing when the defaults are adopted.

Ditto.

Ditto.

In new drivers please make sure to correctly set props.scale so that the
backlight slider can be mapped correctly (see
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-backlight for description of the
options).
