It took me a while to realize why we do this in this order.
eDP v1.4b says about DPCD addresses 00722h-00723h
i.e. EDP_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS MSB and LSB:
"""
Writes are ignored if:
[...]
- BACKLIGHT_ENABLE bit in the EDP_DISPLAY_CONTROL register (DPCD Address
00720h, bit 0) is cleared to 0"
"""
i.e. per the spec this change makes the brightness updates no-ops.
Do you have a panel where this patch makes a difference?
