well, you can call it by echoing to
/sys/bus/platform/devices/omapfb/panel/backlight_level

In reality, the function called is lph8923_panel_set_bklight_level() in
lcd_lph8923.c (which in turn calls tahvo_set_backlight_level). The code
is saying that 1 is the lowest value (except 0 :P) and 15 the highest.

So, you can't go lower unless there's an other way to play with the
level.
