Re: [PATCH 1/2] drm/i915/dpcd_bl: uncheck PWM_PIN_CAP when detect eDP backlight capabilities

[Lyude Paul]

Completely zoned out on Ccing these patches to stable before submitting them,
but once they hit the mainline kernel you should be able to ask Greg to backport
them if you need. Anyway, pushed to drm-intel-next-queued. Thanks for the
patches!
