This patch extends the LED backlight tirgger driver with an option that allows for inverting the trigger output polarity. Whith the invertion option provided, I (ab)use the backlight trigger for driving a led that indicates LCD display blank condtition on my Amstrad Delta videophone. Since the machine has no dedicated power LED, it was not possible to distinguish if its display was blanked or it was turned off, without touching it. The invert sysfs control is modeled after a similiar function provided by the gpio trigger driver. Created and tested against linux-2.6.36-rc5 on Amstrad Delta.
