Unrelated hunk, please remove. This should have been included in one of
the previous patches.

Isn't BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS_PWM_PIN_CAP in edp_dpcd[2] ?

Spec says this register is new to eDP 1.4. I don't see a check for
version.

I don't know if more than 8 bits is relatively better than the
resolution PWM pin allows. I guess, we could fix that later by comparing
the number of brightness levels.
