I don't know what Daniel's been telling you, but I think this does need
to get bolted into the regular backlight control mechanism. We'll also
need eDP specific backlight control, and there's the VLV/CVH pwm driver
absed backlight control, so we need to cover this more gracefully than
an if-else ladder anyway.

My idea all along has been that the backlight hooks in dev_priv.display
need to be moved to connectors (probably intel_panel), and connector
backlight setup can do what they want with these. All the boilerplate
code for sysfs and scaling and so on would be there already.

I do not approve of the approach here.

BR,
Jani.
