    [ARM] pxa: removing dead BACKLIGHT_CORGI

    BACKLIGHT_CORGI was later renamed to BACKLIGHT_GENERIC and has not been
    used since then. As it's now safe to completely transition to LCD_CORGI
    driver, which incorprates both the LCD and backlight device.

So, should we remove corgibl_limit_intensity/genericbl_limit_intensity
since now it is not being used?
