Condat backlight driver: actually allow switching levels
We earlier made a change to this driver allowing different backlight
levels to be set. However, the old backlight idle logic prevented
switching from one backlight level to another without going through
a fully-off state. Now that we have the beginnings of new backlight
timer logic in BMI+MFW, the old idle logic in the Condat driver layer
can be axed, and we fix that driver layer to allow free switching
between different backlight levels.

FC Tourmaline stdmodem functional configuration is equivalent to Magnetite hybrid. The only intentional diff from Magnetite to Tourmaline in the modem configuration is the change of Nucleus: Magnetite uses the blob version of Nucleus which came with TCS211-20070608, whereas Tourmaline uses the source version of Nucleus by Comrade XVilka. It is essentially a change from an unknown version of Nucleus to a known one, thus it should generally be considered an improvement - but as always with such changes, extensive verification and testing needs to be done in order to ensure that nothing got broken. Aside from the one intentional change of Nucleus version, FC Tourmaline is an entirely new firmware source tree, thus it is always possible that something could have got broken unintentionally, particularly in rarely-tested areas of the firmware. Therefore, extensive testing will need to be done before we can declare Tourmaline stdmodem as officially replacing Magnetite hybrid for stable modem products.
