I don't think so. The samsung_bl_data is a copy of samsung_dfl_bl_data
augmented by board-specific settings. So in fact copying these values
here is essential to allow boards to override the enable_gpio and flags
fields. Currently no board sets the enable_gpio to a valid GPIO so it's
all still handled by the callbacks only.
