Subject: [PATCH 5.17 0185/1126] drm/nouveau/backlight: Just set all backlight types as RAW

From: Lyude Paul <lyude@...hat.com>

commit b21a142fd2055d8276169efcc95b624ff908a341 upstream.

Currently we can get a warning on systems with eDP backlights like so:

  nv_backlight: invalid backlight type
  WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 454 at drivers/video/backlight/backlight.c:420
    backlight_device_register+0x226/0x250

This happens as a result of us not filling out props.type for the eDP
backlight, even though we do it for all other backlight types.

Since nothing in our driver uses anything but BACKLIGHT_RAW, let's take the
props\.type assignments out of the codepaths for individual backlight types
and just set it unconditionally to prevent this from happening again.
