[Nouveau] [RFC v3 00/10] drm: Extract DPCD backlight helpers from i915, add support in nouveau

[Lyude Paul]

thanks for the review comments everyone! I'm going through them now but realized
I should probably point out that I somehow sent this patch series and did not
realize I did so in the middle of a rebase, and as such completely forgot the
parts here that actually started using these helpers in nouveau. lol....

anyway-will fix when I sent out the respin today
