No need to have a specific OOM message, since there is generic MM out of memory
message in place.

Pull pwm changes from Thierry Reding:
 "Mostly bug fixes and clean up.  There is a new driver, which is
  actually moving a custom PWM driver from drivers/misc.

  The majority of the patches are enhancements to the device tree
  support in the pwm-backlight driver.  Backlights can now additionally
  be powered using a regulator and enabled using a GPIO in addition to
  just the PWM input"

* tag 'pwm/for-3.13-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/thierry.reding/linux-pwm: (30 commits)
  Documentation/pwm: Update supported SoC name for pwm-samsung
  pwm: samsung: Fix kernel warning while unexporting a channel
  MAINTAINERS: Move PWM subsystem tree to kernel.org
  Documentation/pwm: Fix trivial typos
  pwm-backlight: Remove unused variable
  pwm_backlight: avoid short blank screen while doing hibernation
  pwm-backlight: Fix brightness adjustment
  pwm: add ep93xx PWM support
  pwm-backlight: Allow for non-increasing brightness levels
  pwm-backlight: Add power supply support
  pwm-backlight: Use new enable_gpio field

Use the wrapper function for retrieving the platform data instead of
accessing dev-&gt;platform_data directly.  This is a cosmetic change to
make the code simpler and enhance the readability.

various builds for errors, not warnings.

Use SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS macro will initialize the member "freeze"
and "thaw" of pwm_backlight_pm_ops as below,
	.freeze = suspend_fn,
	.thaw = resume_fn,
then during the process of making hibernation snapshot, screen
will be blank at the moment of freezing, and then light at the
moment of thawing.
this is not the right user experience for suspending to disk.

so this patch drops freeze and thaw callback, make the LCD is
always lighting before the final shutdown.

Split adjustment of the brightness (by changing the PWM duty cycle) from
the power on sequence. This fixes an issue where the brightness can no
longer be updated once the backlight has been enabled.

Currently the driver assumes that the values specified in the
brightness-levels device tree property increase as they are parsed from
left to right.  But boards that invert the signal between the PWM output
and the backlight will need to specify decreasing brightness-levels.
This patch removes the assumption that the last element of the array is
the maximum value, and instead searches the array for the maximum value
and uses that in the duty cycle calculation.

regulator to power up and power down the backlight.

Make use of the new enable_gpio field and allow it to be set from DT as
well. Now that all legacy users of platform data have been converted to
initialize this field to an invalid value, it is safe to use the field
from the driver.

Follow up patches will add support for more complex means of powering
the backlight on and off such as using a regulator. To prevent calls to
the regulator API from becoming unbalanced, keep track of the enabled
state internally.
