I had a look at this a few weeks back. The VBT value for max backlight
is in Hz (as is the value you get through opregion) and transforming
that into the value the registers eat needs some digging. I tried, but
none of the real world examples of VBT and PWM freq matched any of that,
so I moved on...

Something similar is required for non-vlv ChromeOS stuff too AFAIK.

Huh, that's a lot... why don't you use the same value here and below?

In fact, it should be sufficient to do the hack right here, as this gets
called through intel_panel_setup_backlight(). Then again, this hole
function is a kludge... :/

That should be without the NOT, right?
