[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: fix inconsistent brightness after resume

Commit 6dda730e55f4 introduced a bug which resulted in inconsistent
brightness levels on different machines. If a suspended was entered
with the screen off some machines would resume with the screen
at minimum brightness and others at maximum brightness.

The following commands can be used to produce this behavior.

  xset dpms force off
  sleep 1
  sudo systemctl suspend
  (resume ...)

The root cause of this problem is a comparison which checks to see if
the backlight level is zero when the panel is enabled.  If it is zero,
it is set to the maximum level.  Unfortunately, not all machines have a
minimum level of zero. On those machines the level is left at the
minimum instead of begin set to the maximum.

Fix the bug by updating the comparison to check for the minimum
backlight level instead of zero.

Fixes: 6dda730e55f4 ("respect the VBT minimum backlight brightness")
