Also after having deeper look using the vbt value directly still will not get the job done
Since that too can end up being 0.
Usually when using the pwm path when we set brightness to 0 it usually results in a
25 percent brightness which is what ill be doing in the next revision.
Set the min_luminance as max(25% of max_luminance, min_luminance) that way
We don't ignore values.
