IIUC this patch doesn't have a dependency on the more contentious
patches 2/5 and 3/5. This should probably be merged before them.

I share DK's concern about doing a bunch of reads and writes and
calculations every time the backlight's enabled. But I guess that could
be optimized later.

I haven't had time to check the changed algorithm here, but in the mean
time one comment below.

BR,
Jani.

What happens if there are any errors within that function, and it fails
to write DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_FREQ_SET, but
DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_FREQ_AUX_SET_ENABLE has been set?
