Turns out we actually already have some companies, such as Lenovo, shipping machines with AMOLED screens that don't allow controlling the backlight through the usual PWM interface and only allow controlling it through the standard EDP DPCD interface. One example of one of these laptops is the X1 Extreme 2nd Generation. Since we've got systems that need this turned on by default now to have backlight controls working out of the box, let's start auto-detecting it for systems by default based on what the VBT tells us. We do this by changing the default value for the enable_dpcd_backlight module param from 0 to -1.

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.
