As commit ec5507707a1d1e84056a6c864338f95f6118d3ca (video: tegra: Move

updating too which this patch finally attempts doing.
Please note that the current U-Boot implementation requires a dummy
GPIO e.g. for a fixed backlight regulator to be explicitly defined in
order to work unlike in the Linux kernel where this is taken care of
automatically.

This is wrong. If that GPIO isn't actually part of the backlight, the DT
should not say that it is. The gpio property is optional according to
the DT binding documentation, so this shouldn't be needed.
Well, I guess then it's lying.
Does "it" mean the binding? Please note that the binding defines how the
DT should be structured and how code interpreting the DT should operate.
The binding isn't derived from the code, but rather the code is derived
from the binding.

And it won't quite work.
That sounds like a bug in the U-Boot regulator driver. I believe you
should fix that, rather than working around the bug in DT.
