As explained on internal irc I'm rather reluctant to pull in refactoring
patches into -fixes just for bdw enabling. Especially for fragile code
like the backlight.

So I'd just go with adding a copy-pasted version of set/get/enable for
broadwell. That should also fit in with Jani's plans for 3.14 with the
complete backlight refactoring. Adding Jani so he can explain what he'd
like.
