Oh, Tegra has a feature named PRISM(aka SmartDimmer). It changes the
color value to make the display looks bright so that we can reduce the
backlight brightness to save power. So everytime PRISM is triggered, we
call "backlight_update_status", then in the "notify" callback, we change
the brightness value which pwm-bl provides by considering the PRISM
compensations.
