[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: A better maximum brightness for users.

The PWM brightness level of Dell XPS 13 (2015) is from 10 to 937 however
the sysfs brightness level always starts from 0 so it is better to use
927 as the sysfs maximum brightness level and it becomes easier to map
from the PWM brightness level to the sysfs brightness level.
