Subject: [PATCH 4.18 129/197] drm/amd/display: Read back max backlight value at boot

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

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

From: David Francis <David.Francis@....com>

[ Upstream commit 53a53f8687faf492df2644d8c18ff0217fc18730 ]

[Why]
If there is no program explicitly setting the backlight
brightness (for example, during a minimal install of linux), the
hardware defaults to maximum brightness but the backlight_device
defaults to 0 value.  Thus, settings displays the wrong brightness
value.

[How]
When creating the backlight device, set brightness to max
