The patch with commit 20f85ef89d94 ("drm/i915/backlight: use unique
backlight device names") already adds support for dual panel backlight
but with error prints. Since the patch tried to create the backlight
device with the same name and upon failure will try with a different
name it leads to failure logs in dmesg inturn getting caught by CI.
This patch alternately will check if the backlight class of same name
exists, will use a different name.
v2: reworked on top of the patch 20f85ef89d94 ("drm/i915/backlight: use
unique backlight device names")
