[PATCH 1/1] drm: This patch fixes colour banding caused by wrong information passed by the Lenovo Thinkpad L540 panel.

[Francesco Paolo Lovergine]

Hi, 

there is an issue with Lenovo Thinkpad L540 very similar to those described here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1749420 or here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1788308
that is a bad looking color banding with dark colors mainly.
It happens with any kernel starting from 4.8 up to the current.
