backlight: Allow enable/disable of fb backlights, fixing regressions
Enabling the backlight by default appears to cause problems for many
users. This patch disables backlight controls unless explicitly
enabled by users via a module parameter. Since PMAC users are known
to work, default to enabled in that case.
