This driver has no in-kernel users. The device can only be populated
by board files since it does not support device tree nor ACPI,
and nothing in the kernel creates a device named "ot200-backlight".

This driver has been in the kernel since 2012. If it is used by
out-of-tree code that code should have been upstreamed by now,
it's been 8 years.

It uses the idiomatic forked GPIO of the CS5535 which combines
pin control and GPIO into its private custom interface, which
causes me a headache because that is not how we do things these
days: we creates separate pin control and GPIO drivers.

Delete this unused driver.

I was curious about this if only because this a driver for an
x86 system and I wondered how the platform device could ever
have been registered.

However I drew a total blank... I can find some tweaks to
coreboot that make this code work better[1] but even after
a careful search of the coreboot code (just in case some
driver I don't know about managed to fetch the
"ot200-backlight" string from the firmware) but I can't find
any code within reach of a search engine (out of tree of not)
that could cause this driver to activate :-(

So, unless we get objections, I've reached the same view
as Linus (and in this post have documented the effort involved):
