[PATCH] drm/amd/display: add parameter backlight_min

[Filip Moc]

There are some devices on which amdgpu won't allow user to set brightness
to sufficiently low values even though the hardware would support it just
fine.

This usually happens in two cases when either configuration of brightness
levels via ACPI/ATIF is not available and amdgpu falls back to defaults
(currently 12 for minimum level) which may be too high for some devices or
even the configuration via ATIF is available but the minimum brightness
level provided by the manufacturer is set to unreasonably high value.

In either case user can use this new module parameter to adjust the
minimum allowed backlight brightness level.
