[PATCH] drm/i915/quirk: Add quirk for devices that cannot be dimmed

From: Allen Ballway
Date: Thu Jun 29 2023 - 13:21:38 EST


Cybernet T10C cannot be dimmed without the backlight strobing. Create a
new quirk to lock the minimum brightness to the highest supported value.
This aligns the device with its behavior on Windows, which will not
lower the brightness below maximum.
