Do you mean we should do following?
1. Change i915.enable_dpcd_backlight type from bool to int.
2. Give default value as -1 for enable_dpcd_backlight in i915_param.h.
3. Add a judgement to check LFP backlight type was aux interface or not.
   Between if (!i915_modparams.enable_dpcd_backlight) and 
   if (!intel_dp_aux_display_control_capable(intel_connector)).

Best regards,
Shawn
