drm/i915: keep backlight_enable on until turn eDP display off
This workaround is specific for a particular panel on Google chromebook project. When user space daemon enter idle state. It request adjust brightness to 0, turn backlight_enable signal off and keep eDP main link active. On general LCD, this behavior might not be a problem. But on this panel, its tcon would expect source to execute full eDP power off sequence after drop backlight_enable signal. Without eDP power off sequence. Even source try to turn backlight_enable signal on and restore proper brightness level. This panel is not able to light on again. This WA ignored the request from user space daemon to disable backlight_enable signal and keep it on always. When user space request kernel to turn eDP display off, kernel driver still can control backlight_enable signal properly. It would not impact standard eDP power off sequence. v2: 1. modify the quirk name and debug messages. 2. unregister backlight.power callback for specific device. v3: 1. modify debug output messages. 2. use DMI_EXACT_MATCH instead of DMI_MATCH.
