Thanks! I will modify the quirk name and debug messages later.

This panel refer to soc's backlight_enable signal to enable backlight. But adjust brightness via DPCD aux interface.
If source turn backlight_enable signal off, panel tcon await source execute full eDP power off sequence to disable local display.
And panel's backlight is not able to turn on again.
