I think we should explain why, because if it's a property and comes from
the userspace, then why would luminance be special and trigger a uevent
when it's updated, unlike any other property?

It's not clear to me why we need to dynamically allocate them at all. If
we're using the backlight subsystem we'll already have a handle to it.
If we don't and want to implement something like DDC/CI, then it just
becomes a hassle. Why not treat it like i2c, add a backlight field to
drm_connector, and create the link at registration, add a new hook to
set luminance, and then provide helpers to either use the backlight API,
or anything else if the driver wants to.
