From: Suraj Kandpal <suraj.kandpal at intel.com>
Check if BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS_AUX_SET_CAPABLE bit is
set then EDP_PWMGEN_BIT_COUNT_CAP_MIN and EDP_PWMGEN_BIT_COUNT_CAP_MAX
follow the eDP 1.4b Section 10.3. Which states min should
be >= 1 and max should be >= min. Some legacy panels
do not follow this properly. They set the
BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS_AUX_SET_CAPABLE bit while not correctly
populating the min and max fields leading to a 0 max value.
