Nitpick, as a convention we usually prefer having struct
drm_i915_private *i915 around instead, and use &i915->drm when we need
the drm device. Typically we'll need to access i915 for other reasons
anyway, and only having one seems neater. Not a blocker here, just FYI.

This is exactly what I meant with having pwm_ prefixes for levels in the
"pwm domain" for clarity, in reply to another patch. +1

I do wonder about dropping this out. I see it gets added back in the
next patch, but this just means it's, I think, necessary to merge the
two patches back to back.

Despite the nitpicks, this is the only concern I have, really. I didn't
review all the hdr hooks in detail, and if it works, it anyway trumps me
checking the code against some crappy powerpoint of a spec I got.

Overall,

Acked-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@xxxxxxxxx>

with or without the nitpicks fixed.
