Well it's not really about the pipe. It's about which set of BLC
registers we're supoosed to use when using the BLC built into the
display engine. And that's only done so that we take over the
hardware state correctly. So INVALID_PIPE is just fine in this case
since the backlight control has nothing to do with the pipe.
