<pre>Ha! Sorry, it is a bug, reopening. The reason I had the
`enable_dpcd_backlight=1` on in the first place was because without it external
monitors failed to go to "energy saving" mode without it. Removing it causes
eDP1 on 5540 brightness to be controllable but external monitors (via TB hub)
apparently failed to go to sleep.
So:
enable_dpcd_backlight=1:
7510:
eDP1 - brightness controllable, energy savings mode works
external - N/A, energy savings mode works
5540:
eDP1 - brightness NOT controllable, energy savings mode works
external - N/A, energy savings mode works
enable_dpcd_backlight=0:
7510:
eDP1 - brightness controllable, energy savings mode works
external - N/A, energy savings mode DOES NOT work
5540:
eDP1 - brightness controllable, energy savings mode works
external - N/A, energy savings DOES NOT mode works</pre>
