When we enter intel_modeset_setup_hw_state during resume
- BLC_PWM_CPU_CTL2 == BLM_PWM_ENABLE
- the physical backlight is off
- readout_hw_state says crtcs, encoders and connectors are disabled

The sanitizations done before reaching the force_restore block are
- drm_vblank_off for each crtc
- sarea_priv->pipeA_w=0
- sarea_priv->pipeA_h=0
- ilk_wm_get_hw_state(dev)

Then the warning is logged inside the force_restore block

I see no code in the execution path of intel_modeset_setup_hw_state to 
either note the state of BLC_PWM_CPU_CTL2 or reset it, apart from the 
pch_enable_backlight function. Which would be one explanation :-)
