Some of the parts only do backlight, so drop the "-backlight" on those. 
And having a sub-node makes no sense in that case. Perhaps it should be 
2 binding documents separating the single function devices and MFDs. The 
binding doc(s) doesn't have to align with the driver(s). You can have 1 
driver serve 2 bindings.

The wording here is weird. My take of the datasheet is it is not 
necessarily either I2C or PWM mode as I gathered from this description.
