No, definitely not two drivers for lp8788 hardware.

If that does not yet exist... you want to create glue layer to be able
to use LED as a display backlight. (It may already exist, no idea).

...

Actually or maybe a LED trigger. Just set LED's trigger to "this is
display backlight".

Other solutions are acceptable, but not two hardware drivers.

Thanks,
Pavel
