Subject: [PATCH 5.4 19/76] drm/i915/backlight: fix CPU mode backlight takeover on LPT

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

[ Upstream commit bb83d5fb550bb7db75b29e6342417fda2bbb691c ]

The pch_get_backlight(), lpt_get_backlight(), and lpt_set_backlight()
functions operate directly on the hardware registers. If inverting the
value is needed, using intel_panel_compute_brightness(), it should only
be done in the interface between hardware registers and
panel->backlight.level.

The CPU mode takeover code added in commit 5b1ec9ac7ab5
("drm/i915/backlight: Fix backlight takeover on LPT, v3.") reads the
hardware register and converts to panel->backlight.level correctly,
however the value written back should remain in the hardware register
"domain".

This hasn't been an issue, because GM45 machines are the only known
users of i915.invert_brightness and the brightness invert quirk, and
without one of them no conversion is made. It's likely nobody's ever hit
the problem.
