Enable LCD Brightness control feature for Generic DPI Panels


By default, the 'LCD brightness control' feature has not been added in the Generic DPI panel drivers.

Follow these steps , which will enable the brightness control for the Generic DPI panel drivers.

Kernel version : 3.0.21
Processor         : OMAP4460
Android O.S    : Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.3)

List of files which requires modifications are.
1) LCD Driver File - panel-generic-dpi.c
2) Board file      - board-4430dsp.c
3) Kernel Config File.
