On patch 1 and 2:
Reviewed-by: Imre Deak <imre.deak at intel.com>

For patch 3 we need an another reviewer.

I also tested all three patches and they fix the backlight on BXT,
before it was practically unusable: there was either no backlight at
all or the backlight was flashing rapidly depending on the current
backlight level.
