This module parameter must be an _unsafe one, we cannot expect users to
set this stuff correctly. For debugging this is fine, for shipping it's
not fine at all.
For upstream this either needs to work as-is (using suitable
heuristics/whitelists/whatever), or we need to throw out the entire
support. Having dead code around is not an option imo.
Also, Jani told me that apparently the reason we had to disable this is
that it broke an SDP. We don't support SDP once the platform is past PV,
because they're a pain. So if that's the only reason, then please
re-enable the code again.
Once more: No module options that you expect to be used for configuring
the driver. Especially around backlights the situation we're in is already
a disaster, let's not make it worse. If i915 doesn't know how to drive the
backlight, then no one else will.
As-is, nack on this approach. We need:
1) _unsafe mod option
2) get this enabled by default
3) fix exceptions in the code, not by exposing even more tuning knobs
Thanks, Daniel
