As it turns out, apparently some machines will actually leave additional backlight functionality like dynamic backlight control on before the OS loads. Currently we don't take care to disable unsupported features when writing back the backlight mode, which can lead to some rather strange looking behavior when adjusting the backlight. So, let's fix this by ensuring we only keep supported features enabled for panel backlights - which should fix some of the issues we were seeing from this on fi-bdw-samus.
