This sounds suspiciously like you have hand rolled your own structure 
type and, bluntly, this strikes me as pretty crazy

What is wrong with struct { u8 addr; u8 mask; u8 val; }?

I've only done a very quick review of this patch since I'd prefer to see 
the above sorted out before I do a more detailed review.

However I did spot a couple of other small things that I might as well 
share now. Nevertheless please don't be suprised when further issues 
come out after you share v2!

Device tree bindings should be sent in a seperate patch,  see 
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.txt .

That sleep is unreachable.

What is a plan for this FIXME?

This function appears to do a lot more than "update the brightness 
register". It seems like a lot of the logic at the top of this function 
belongs in the caller instead.

Under what circumstances could brightness_msb be invalid?

If you're worried this might be unset this should have been checked 
(once) during registration.I could see would be inadequate error 
checking during registration...

ret = ti_lmu_backlight_enable(lmu_bl, brightness > 0);

Having asked why brightness_msb could ever by unset it is ironic to see 
the error code ignored here (so in the case it was unset we would 
spuriously have a successful probe anyway).
