The pwm-backlight driver now takes a mandatory regulator that is gotten
during driver probe.  Initialize a dummy regulator to satisfy this
requirement.

This board will use either <&gpio 0 7 0> or <&pinctrl 7 0>, dependant on
the pinctrl driver patchset going through.

If you want it to 'work', feel free to add a regulator for the <&gpio 0
7 0> case - otherwise just leave the dummy and I'll patch it later once
the pinctrl driver is finished.

I only know of one user who is disabling the backlight gpio at present,
and he is doing it with a gpio-led node.

The backlight is enabled by uboot on all boards with an LCD present, so
this is just a power-saving feature for us - nothing breaks by having a
dummy.
