With below change its working for my panel, but this wont work for the issue
reported in this bug since the panel seems to have wrong DPCD capabilities.
intel_dp_aux_display_control_heuristic(struct intel_connector *connector)
struct intel_dp *intel_dp = enc_to_intel_dp(&connector->encoder->base);
uint8_t reg_val;
+ /* Panel dosn't support enabling AUX Backlight control */
+ if (!(intel_dp->edp_dpcd[1] & DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_AUX_ENABLE_CAP)) {
+ return false;
+ }
/* Panel doesn't support adjusting backlight brightness via PWN pin */
if (!(intel_dp->edp_dpcd[2] & DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS_PWM_PIN_CAP))
return true;</pre>
