[PATCH 2/2] drm/amd/display: Add aux_backlight module option

There seem devices that don't work with the aux channel backlight
control.  For allowing such users to test with the other backlight
control method, provide a new module option, aux_backlight, to specify
enabling or disabling the aux backport support explicitly.  As
default, the aux support is detected by the hardware capability.
