Hmm. My assumption was that we can't get these with other platforms, but
the opregion might be a bit special I agree.

Yeah, I think that should cover it.

We do check backlight.enabled here as well, and I think we grab all the
required locks when servicing the opregion requests. So I'm thinking we
don't need the check here either. Or am I missing something?
