Re: [PATCH v11 3/3] drm/i915: Add option to support dynamic backlight via DPCD

[Puthikorn Voravootivat <puthik@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry forgot to remove Gerrit Change-ID before sending the email.

Do you want me to send the same patches again with your reviewed-by tag and

the Gerrit change-Id removed?

1) The Gerrit Change-ID's you've added in this version *may* be a
problem, haven't seen any patches here with those before.
2) The PWM v/s AUX heuristics function looks likes a reasonable start
that can be adjusted later. We should be taking into account the number
of brightness levels b/w PWM pin and AUX options IMO.
3) The DPCD r/w needs optimization.

However things lgtm for now. So,
