I had another look and still have the impression that backlight usage 
should just go. Look at the implementation when the file was introduced:

+panic:
+       while (1) {
+               bl_level(++i % 50);
+               delay_ms(50);
+       }
+       return NULL;

This, I understand, it blinks. But it was changed three days later to 
the current state (c917fd43797c30385a1ba860fef95be97c84d51d) which broke 
it ('i' is constant now). So it is broken for over a year and nobody 
noticed :) So, instead of introducing a board_panic which nobody seems 
to need, I'd just suggest using plain osmo_panic as in other places. 
Much cleaner, too, IMO.
