This patch goes hand in hand with:

commit 3cb1f40dfdc3 ("drivers/platform: toshiba_acpi: Call HCI_PANEL_POWER_ON on resume on some models")

and without that commit also being present it will cause a regression on
the quirked Toshiba models.

This really is part of the big x86/ACPI backlight handling refactor which 
has landed in 6.1 and as such is not intended for older kernels, please
drop this from the stable series.

Regards,

Hans
