[PATCH master] video: backlight: make brightness and slew time parameters unsigned

[Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>]

Despite the backlight parameter being registered as uint32,
backlight_brightness_set took the brightness level as a signed value.

This can lead to wrap around for very large values of brightness
supplied as device parameter and if this results in a negative
brightness, the function appears to hang, because the slew rate loop
runs for a long time.

Fix this by making brightness level an unsigned entity.
