[Why] When an eDP panel is powered externally from a different GPU, we can avoid waiting for hardware sequencing delays when switching the backlight on/off as the display backlight is no longer powered by the original source. [How] This commit extends the 'link_powered_externally' variable to allow bypassing hardware delays for additional backlight commands and force the backlight on/off when a link is powered by another GPU.

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.
