Note that there is no hard dependency, the atomic API should work just
fine even with a non-converted driver. (Of course a converted driver
behaves better, but the i915 using the atomic API with a non-converted
driver is just as good as the legacy API with the same driver.)

So regarding your plan to get this series in soon: There is no hard need
to halt the efforts for the drm part if the pwm patches take a bit
longer (or vice versa).

The transformation is correct, but using

	pwm_get_state(pwm, &state);
	duty_ns = state.duty_cycle;
	period_ns = state.period;

is a bit more effective as it calls pwm_get_state() only once.

There is a function pwm_get_relative_duty_cycle which is similar (with
scale = 100) just used different rounding.

Did you drop intel_panel_actually_set_backlight and the sleep on purpose?

In pwm_enable_backlight() the order of these two steps is reversed
compared to here. Maybe this calculation can be moved into
intel_panel_compute_brightness()?
