Ugh, I'm off by one.  :(  Right.  New features prepared for v5.10
should already have been baking in linuxnext and merge requests have
already started flowing towards Linus.  After v5.10-rc1 then it'd just
fixes and this doesn't really qualify.  So the timing dictates that
patch #1 will land in v5.11, not v5.10.

I haven't tried Alexandru's device tree patch without the associated
code changes, but I guess I just assumed that it would make a really
ugly (non)ideal backlight curve and we'd be better off with what we
currently have (AKA no curve specified at all).

Hrm, thinking about it, I guess the worst case is a slightly non-ideal
backlight curve and it would be all good in the final v5.11 which
would have the device tree and code changes, so you're right that both
the code and device tree could target v5.11 without anything too
bad...
