BT hard test

I have tested bluetooth stability on my Zire72.
Kernel: 2.6.21-hnd2
BlueZ: 3.10 with bcm2035 patch
Network: PAN over bluetooth (bnep0 device)
Test duration: ~3 hours of pinging www.google.com

Result: Bluetooth is very very stable

Fixed backlight, reduced whine

Palm Zire72

I have dumped PWM registers by HARET in PalmOS. Old values in sources are totally bad. Now is all commited and backlight works well in resume and in proportionally regulation of backlight intensity from 0-100%.
All of definitons are moved to header palmz72-init.h

Max. intensity: 0xFE
Default intensity: 0x7E //without changes
Limit mask: 0x7F //without changes
Prescaler: 0x3F
Period: 0x112

Next,
I have reduced whine of display, like LD project, modifiing lcc3 value from 0x04700007 to 0x04700004.

I found right GPIO for IRDA_SD = 49 (not 91). The basic driver is pxafcpi. For ppp connection is necesarry ppp_async in kernel and some scripts.
