[PATCH RFC 02/10] backlight: add Kinetic KTD3136 driver

[YİĞİTCAN KAVAKLI via B4 Relay]

From: YİĞİTCAN KAVAKLI <kavakliyigitcan@xxxxxxxxx>

Implement a generic Linux backlight driver for the Kinetic Technologies
KTD3136 36V, 6-channel LED driver.

The driver provides:
- Standard Linux backlight class interface (struct backlight_ops)
- 11-bit linear dimming resolution (0..2047 steps)
- Optional hardware enable (HWEN) GPIO sequencing
- Chip shutdown and register re-initialization upon resume/power-up
- Clean devm-managed resource allocation

Hardware evidence:
Tested on Qualcomm SM6125 platforms (Xiaomi Redmi Note 8) with smooth
dimming across the full 11-bit range and robust recovery across display
power cycles.
