[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2 5/5] drm/i915: Force DPCD backlight mode on X1 Extreme 2nd Gen 4K AMOLED panel

fwiw - I got some feedback from one of the vendors that we work with that I
haven't gone through yet, but I'm hoping to figure out whether we want to
trust the vbt/dpcd based off that once I do. Once we've made up the decision
on that (and I send out a reroll if needed), think this is good to merge? (I
don't see any issues with any of the changes you've made, and they seem to
work fine on my machines)
