Topic branch for these 2 simple patches seems like serious overkill.
Especially for backlight stuff, which doesn't move fast. Anyway, up to
you, ack for all the drm patches to go through whatever tree you
people can agree on. Would be good to get it into 5.1 still though,
just to avoid too many conflicts.
