Are we sure that isn't just referring to the DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS_MSB
register, as opposed to alignment of the whole value in that register? My
understanding of this was just that if there wasn't a pwmgen bit count
specified, that the backlight level would just be written to
DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS_MSB and DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS_LSB would be
ignored. 

Hopefully I'm not misunderstanding Ville, but I don't think so since the current
code we have already follows the understanding I just gave:

	vals[0] = level;

	/* Write the MSB and/or LSB */
	if (intel_dp->edp_dpcd[2] & DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS_BYTE_COUNT) {
		vals[0] = (level & 0xFF00) >> 8;
		vals[1] = (level & 0xFF);
	}

(vals[0] == MSB)
