This should be at least 3 separate patches: (1) Driver code (2) Ventana
.dts file (3) Tegra defconfig.

If this is Ventana-specific, this should have a vendor prefix; "nvidia,"
would be appropriate.
But, why is this Ventana-specific; surely it's at most panel-specific,
or perhaps even generic across any/most LCD panels?
There needs to be binding documentation.

"power" doesn't seem like a good regulator name; power to what? Is this
for the backlight, since I see there's a panel-supply below?

GPIO names usually have "gpios" in their name, so I assume those should
be bl-enable-gpios, panel-enable-gpios?

There shouldn't be a need to explicitly free devm-allocated objects in
almost all cases; that's the whole point of the devm APIs.

It seems like all of that code should be completely generic.

Rather than invent some new registration mechanism, if we need
board-/panel-/...-specific drivers, it'd be better to make each of those
specific drivers a full platform device in an of itself (i.e. regular
Linux platform device/driver, have its own probe(), etc.), and have
those specific drivers call into the base PWM backlight code, treating
it like a utility API.

Some extra blank lines there.
