Subject: [PATCH 3.15 043/122] drm/i915: set backlight duty cycle after backlight enable for gen4

3.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@...el.com>

commit 2e7eeeb59a92d09144fdb7d2dc1af77a10a7945b upstream.

For reasons I can't claim to fully understand gen4 seems to require
backlight duty cycle setting after the backlight has been enabled, or
else black screen follows. I don't have documentation for the correct
sequence on gen4 either. Confirmed on Dell Latitude D630 and MacBook4,1.

This fixes a regression introduced by
commit b35684b8fa94e04f55fd38bf672b737741d2f9e2
