Now that the PWM drivers which we use have been converted to the atomic

The removes a long standing FIXME and this removes a flicker where
the backlight brightness would jump to 100% when i915 loads even if
using the fastset path.

Note that this commit also simplifies pwm_disable_backlight(), by dropping
the intel_panel_actually_set_backlight(..., 0) call. This call sets the
PWM to 0% duty-cycle. I believe that this call was only present as a
workaround for a bug in the pwm-crc.c driver where it failed to clear the
PWM_OUTPUT_ENABLE bit. This is fixed by an earlier patch in this series.

After the dropping of this workaround, the usleep call, which seems
unnecessary to begin with, has no useful effect anymore, so drop that too.

Changes in v4:
- Add a note to the commit message about the dropping of the
   intel_panel_actually_set_backlight() and usleep() calls from
   pwm_disable_backlight()
- Use the pwm_set/get_relative_duty_cycle() helpers instead of using DIY code
   for this

Here you introduce a slight difference: pwm_get_relative_duty_cycle uses
round-closest while you replace a round-up. Is this relevant?

Yes I'm aware of the change in rounding and I do not believe that it is
relevant. One of the advantages of switching to the helpers is not having
to worry about the rounding and letting the helpers figure that out :)

Similar here: The function used to use round-up but
pwm_set_relative_duty_cycle() used round-closest.

Idem.

What would pwm_is_enabled(panel->backlight.pwm) == true &&
pwm_get_period(panel->backlight.pwm) == 0 mean? I hope this doesn't
happen?!

It shouldn't happen this code uses only 2 PWM controller drivers,
pwm-crc and pwm-lpss and the get_state of neither ever sets
period tto 0. This check is just here for extra safety, since getting it
wrong would lead to a divide by 0. Which I see has been fixed by the
helper now (which does its own period==0 check). So I guess I can
(and I will) just drop this extra check for the next version.
