Subject: [PATCH] drm/amd: Move adaptive backlight modulation property to drm core
The adaptive backlight modulation property is supported on AMD hardware but
compositors should be aware of it in standard DRM property documentation.
Move the helper to create the property and documentation into DRM.

- * DOC: property for adaptive backlight modulation
- *
- * The 'adaptive backlight modulation' property is used for the compositor to
- * directly control the adaptive backlight modulation power savings feature
- * that is part of DCN hardware.
- *
- * The property will be attached specifically to eDP panels that support it.
- *
- * The property is by default set to 'sysfs' to allow the sysfs file 'panel_power_savings'
- * to be able to control it.
- * If set to 'off' the compositor will ensure it stays off.
- * The other values 'min', 'bias min', 'bias max', and 'max' will control the
- * intensity of the power savings.
- *
- * Modifying this value can have implications on color accuracy, so tread
- * carefully.
