[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] i915: Introduce quirk for shifting eDP brightness.

We have observed that Google Pixelbook's backlight hardware is
interpretting these backlight bits from the most-significant side of the
16 bit word (if DP_EDP_PWMGEN_BIT_COUNT < 16), whereas the driver code
assumes the peripheral cares about the least-significant bits.

Testing was done from within Chrome OS's build environment when the
patch is backported to 5.4 (the version we are newly targeting for the
Pixelbook); for the record:
   $ emerge-eve-kernelnext sys-kernel/chromeos-kernel-5_4 && \
      ./update_kernel.sh --remote=$IP

I used `/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/eDP-1/i915_dpcd` on my laptop to verify
that the registers were being set according to what the actual hardware
expects; I also observe that the backlight is noticeably brighter with
this patch.
