Revert "drm/i915: Don't use VBT for detecting DPCD backlight controls"
This reverts commit d2a4bb6f. So, turns out that this ended up just breaking things. While many laptops incorrectly advertise themselves as supporting PWM backlight controls, they actually will only work with DPCD backlight controls. Unfortunately, it also seems there are a number of systems which advertise DPCD backlight controls in their eDP DPCD but don't actually support them. Talking with some laptop manufacturers has shown it might be possible to probe this support via the EDID (!?!?) but I haven't been able to confirm that this would work on any other manufacturer's systems. So in the mean time, we'll just revert this commit for now and go back to the old way of doing things.
