[PATCH v3 1/1] drm/i915/display: Add quirk to force backlight type on some TUXEDO devices

Message-ID <[email protected]>
The display backlight on TUXEDO DX1708 and InsanityBook 15 v1 with panels
AUO 12701 and AUO 12701 must be forced to INTEL_DP_AUX_BACKLIGHT_ON to be
able to control the brightness.

This could already be archived via a module parameter, but this patch adds
a quirk to apply this by default on the mentioned devices.

This patch does not actually test for the exact panels as the id that is
used in the intel_dpcd_quirks list is sadly zeroed on the devices, but
afaik all these devices use try_intel_interface first anyway so all the
quirk does is to add the fallback to try_vesa_interface, so the behaviour
on the devices not needing the quirk and fallback should functionally stay
the same.
