We have now seen panel (XMG Core 15 e21 laptop) avertizing support for Intel proprietary eDP backlight control via DPCD registers, but actually working only with legacy pwm control. This patch adds panel EDID check for possible HDR static metadata and does detection from DPCD registers only if this data block exists.
