+ This provides a backlight control internal to the Atmel LCDC
+ driver. If the LCD "contrast control" on your board is wired
+ so it controls the backlight brightness, select this option to
+ export this as a PWM-based backlight control.

+ If in doubt, it's safe to enable this option; it doesn't kick
+ in unless the board's description says it's wired that way.
