dt-bindings: backlight: Add some common backlight properties

Let's use a common.yaml include for the backlight like we do with
the LEDs. The LEDs are inherently incompatible so their bindings
cannot be reused for backlight.

+description:
+  Backlight devices provide backlight for different types of graphical
+  displays. They are typically but not necessarily implemented using a white
+  LED powered by a boost converter.
+
+properties:
+  default-brightness:
+    description:
+      The default brightness that should be applied to the LED by the operating
+      system on start-up. The brightness should not exceed the brightness the
+      LED can provide.
+    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#definitions/uint32
+
+  max-brightness:
+    description:
+      Normally the maximum brightness is determined by the hardware and this
+      property is not required. This property is used to put a software limit
+      on the brightness apart from what the driver says, as it could happen
+      that a LED can be made so bright that it gets damaged or causes damage
+      due to restrictions in a specific system, such as mounting conditions.
