Some 855gm models (at least ThinkPad X40) regressed because of commit b0cd324faed23d10d66ba6ade66579c681feef6f Author: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 12 16:25:43 2014 +0200 drm/i915: don't save/restore backlight hist ctl registers which tried to make our driver more robust by not blindly saving and restoring registers, but it failed to take into account commit 0eb96d6ed38430b72897adde58f5477a6b71757a Author: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Oct 14 12:33:41 2009 -0700 drm/i915: save/restore BLC histogram control reg across suspend/resume Fix the regression by enabling hist ctl on gen2. v2: Improved the comment. v3: Improved the comment, again.
