Why are you limiting this to at least 20?

Just because there is a HDR Static Metadata blob on the connector
doesn't mean an HDR mode is set. The TCON seems to consider itself in
HDR mode when either INTEL_EDP_HDR_TCON_SDP_COLORIMETRY_ENABLE or
INTEL_EDP_HDR_TCON_2084_DECODE_ENABLE are set.

If you don't match this up properly, the backlight will be all wrong and
the user has an (almost) black screen!

Same problem as before.

You cannot enable HLG or any mode other than PQ. Why would you want to
enable the segmented backlight in those cases?

Also, you said in a gitlab issue that segmented backlight has to be
enabled for HDR. This is just entirely wrong. It's a tradeoff between
more dynamic range and picture fidelity that ultimately should not be
made by a driver but user space.

Why is this checking for something completely unrelated?

This means when we use the Colorspace prop to get BT2020 gamut we don't
get the gamut we requested!

This should check for INTEL_EDP_HDR_TCON_SDP_COLORIMETRY_CAP instead!
There is no reason to bind this to any hardware version if the hardware
itself can tell you if it supports SDP signalling or needs to set it via
AUX.

Even worse, for DISPLAY_VER(i915) >= 11 you're not setting
INTEL_EDP_HDR_TCON_SDP_COLORIMETRY_ENABLE which means the SDP might not
get picked up by the TCON and we end up with empty metadata!

This is the wrong set of metadata. You have to send it what user space
set on the connector.

Pretty much all of this is wrong or broken. I already pointed you to a
fixed up version:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/swick/linux/-/commits/wip/intel-aux-hdr-backlight

We verified that it works as well.
