I will split this into 3 patches.
1. Fix cap check
2. Drop AUX backlight enable requirement
3. Allow choosing to use PWM pin or AUX if both supported

Fixed in next patch set.

What we actually need is that we have panel that
- does not support display backlight enable via AUX
- support display backlight adjustment via AUX
- support display backlight enable via eDP BL_ENABLE pin
- support display backlight adjustment via eDP PWM pin but that pin is not
connected
- support display backlight frequency adjustment via AUX

and we want to
- enable backlight via eDP BL_ENABLE pin
- adjust backlight brightness via AUX
- adjust backlight frequency via AUX
