From: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> On VLV/CHV when the display is off, we can't read out the current backlight level from the hardware since we have no pipe to do so. Currently we end up reading a bigus register due to passing INVALID_PIPE to VLV_BLC_PWM_CTL(). Skip the entire .get_backlight() call if the backlight isn't enabled according to backlight.enabled. This problem can be reproduced simply by reading the backlight device actual_brightness file while the display is off.
