Ack, I will update.

Display daughter card has WLED driver as well as LCD bias driver.

The WLED driver's Enable is coming from WLED_P1_EN and PWM is coming 
from LCD_CABC output of the panel.

DISPLAY0_BACKLIGHT_ENABLE (GPIO 91) of ITP baseband card ==> WLED_P1_EN 
of Display Daughter Card (DC)

In the display daughter card of Shikra ITP platform, we are not using 
the external PWM for WLED driver. But connected the CABC output of the 
panel to the WLED driver. Backlight update is happening using MIPI DCS 
command which is driving the CABC output (i.e., PWM for WLED).

Because of above HW configuration, we need to enable the MIPI DCS 
brightness update on this panel. The below command of 
dlc0697_init_sequence() is enabling this.
mipi_dsi_dcs_write_seq_multi(dsi_ctx, 0x53, 0x24);


After checking this, I realized that this panel can be used without the 
DCS backlight as well when it's using PWM based backlight control.

I can add `has_dcs_backlight`  in panel_desc and set it true for 
dlc0697. I will update bindings and add backlight as optional property.

Currently "backlight-en" as optional. I will fix the commit text as 
Krzysztof pointed out and update the commit text to get add more clarity.

please let me know if you have any comments.
