drm/i915: do not disable backlight on vgaswitcheroo switch off
On muxed systems, the other vgaswitcheroo client may depend on i915 to handle the backlight. We began switching off the backlight since commit a261b246ebd552fd5d5a8ed84cc931bb821c427f Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Thu Jul 26 19:21:47 2012 +0200 drm/i915: disable all crtcs at suspend time breaking backlight on discreet graphics in (some) muxed systems. Keep the backlight on when the state is changed through vgaswitcheroo. Note: The alternative would be to add a quirk table to achieve the same based on system identifiers, but AFAICS it would asymptotically approach effectively the same as this patch as more IDs are added, but with the maintenance burden of the quirk table.
