Alex Deucher f2ad3accef drm/amdgpu/display: only enable aux backlight control for OLED panels
We've gotten a number of reports about backlight control not
working on panels which indicate that they use aux backlight
control.  A recent patch:

commit 2d73eabe29
Author: Camille Cho <Camille.Cho@amd.com>
Date:   Thu Jul 8 18:28:37 2021 +0800

    drm/amd/display: Only set default brightness for OLED

    [Why]
    We used to unconditionally set backlight path as AUX for panels capable
    of backlight adjustment via DPCD in set default brightness.

    [How]
    This should be limited to OLED panel only since we control backlight via
    PWM path for SDR mode in LCD HDR panel.

Changes some other code to only use aux for backlight control on
OLED panels.  The commit message seems to indicate that PWM should
be used for SDR mode on HDR panels.  Do something similar for
backlight control in general.  This may need to be revisited if and
when HDR started to get used.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
