Some more testing indicates that while i915.enable_dbc=0 solves the
initial issue of backlight not coming on, it's not enough--after
suspend/resume the backlight stays off.
Passing i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=0 seems to work both for the initial
case of backlight not coming on at boot, and the issue with backlight
not coming on after suspend/resume.
So:
DBC:1, DPCD: -1: blank screen on boot
DBC:0, DPCD: -1: screen OK on boot, blank after suspend/resume
DBC:1, DPCD: 0: screen OK on boot, screen OK after suspend/resume
DBC:0, DPCD: 0: screen OK on boot, screen OK after suspend/resume
So it seems that at least for the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 4 (possibly
limited to the 2560x1440 model) DPCD backlight isn't supported.
Or possibly something is wrong with the DPCD backlight patch.
