[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/bxt: fix incorrect BIOS backlight PWM frequency setting

[Imre Deak]

There seem to be BIOSes with that set an invalid PWM frequency, assuming the
wrong base frequency. This base frequency is 19.2MHz on BXT except for A
stepping where it's the current CD clock frequency. The BIOSes in question
don't take this difference into account and program the frequency
assuming it's based on the CD clock frequency even on B stepping.

Since we don't care about A stepping any more, simply assume the 19.2MHz
everywhere and require a minimum of 100Hz PWM frequency, regard anything
below this as incorrect. In case we correct the frequency we also have to
disable fastboot, that being the simplest way to reprogram the backlight
settings.
