Currently this is by design. But I think we agreed previously that the
driver also has incorrect capability checks for the current design. The
first priority would be to fix those checks. And the patch order in the
series should reflect that.

"also" in the commit message is a strong clue it should be a separate
patch. What you describe is potentially a fix that should precede this
patch.

See my comments below. I think you need to rethink the options.

This is not right. If we're going to use the PWM pin for backlight
control, it's what's in intel_panel.c, and
intel_dp_aux_init_backlight_funcs() should return -ENODEV. We only
support one or the other.
I think you probably need to have a hard look at Table 10-1 "Summary of
Backlight Control Modes Using DPCD Registers" in eDP 1.4b, and tell us
what modes you really want to support and how. For example, the product
mode or any DPCD/PWM mixed modes aren't very easily achieved with the
current design.
