[PATCH] powerpc: More via-pmu backlight fixes

The via-pmu backlight code (introduced in 2.6.18) has various design
issues causing crashes on machines using it like the old Wallstreet
powerbook (Michael, the author, never managed to test on these and I
just got my hand on one of those old beasts).

This fixes them by no longer trying to hijack the backlight device of
the frontmost framebuffer (causing that framebuffer to crash) but having
it's own local bits instead. Might look weird but it's better that way
on those old machines, at least as a last-minute fix for 2.6.18. We
might rework the whole thing later. This patch also changes the way it
gets notified of sleep and wakeup in order to properly shut the
backlight down on sleep and bring it back on wakeup.

To be applied to 2.6.18 as the current code crashes on some models.
