Re: [PATCH] drm/i915/dp: Tweak initial dpcd backlight.enabled value

So if I understand this correctly, it sounds like that some Pixelbooks boot up
with DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS_MSB set to a non-zero value, without the
panel actually having DPCD backlight controls enabled?

If I'm understanding that correctly, then this patch looks good to me:
