Isn't that a side-effect using the right shift operation for division?
Would DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST allow you to use pn_min?

The only values I see being set for max brightness are 0xFFFF and 0xFF  

if (intel_dp->edp_dpcd[2] & DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS_BYTE_COUNT)
	panel->backlight.max = 0xFFFF;
else
	panel->backlight.max = 0xFF;

I can't see where you are setting this based on Pn. Can you please point
out? From what I understand, max should be 2^Pn.

Also, won't this function be called every time _enable_backlight() is
called? Isn't doing this from setup sufficient? I guess, fixing it is an
optimization that'd be nice to have but not necessary.
