Indeed the bios seems to just but gunk into that register. And if we add in all the knobs there's piles of them (you have semi-duplicated backlight registers on hsw on the PCH), so I guess it doesn't make sense to combine them all and warn if something goes awry, at least not in a -fixes patch. So Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter on your original patch. Jani can decide whether he wants to save this WARN_ON (imo it's useful to have such sanity-checks) in -next by taking all the various bits and duty cycles into account. But maybe just on the latest platforms, that still should give is good coverage, but with a lot less fuss. Thanks for tracking this all down.
