Currently amdgpu takes backlight caps provided by the ACPI tables
on systems as is. If the firmware sets maximums that are too low
this means that users don't get a good experience.
To avoid having to maintain a quirk list of such systems, do a sanity
check on the values. Check that the spread is at least half of the
values that amdgpu would use if no ACPI table was found and if not
use the amdgpu defaults.

Would we still want to allow signals below AMDGPU_DM_DEFAULT_MIN_BACKLIGHT
(but above 0)? The min backlight value of 12 is a bit conservative and
I wouldn't be surprised if systems set it lower via ACPI.
The rest looks like great checks that we should absolutely have.
I'm waffling about that one because Thomas' testing showed that there
was some problems with panel power savings when he quirked the Framework
panels below their ACPI default (12) in his v6 series of the Framework
quirks.
So my thought process was we should put in an explicit check for now and
then when we have panel power savings working without a modeset landed
then we can also add code to the backlight set callback to turn off
panel power savings when set below AMDGPU_DM_DEFAULT_MIN_BACKLIGHT to
prevent the issue he found.
