Currently we register the backlight device as soon as we register the
connector. That means we can get backlight requests from userspace
already before reading out the current modeset hardware state.
That means we don't yet know the current crtc->encoder->connector mapping,
which causes problems for VLV/CHV which need to know the current pipe in
order to figure out which BLC registers to poke. Currently we just
ignore such requests fairly deep in the backlight code which means the
backlight device brightness property will get out of sync with our
backlight.level and the actual hardware state.
Fix the problem by delaying the backlight device registration until the
entire modeset init has been performed. And we also move the
backlight unregisteration to happen as the first thing during the
modeset cleanup so that we also won't be bothered with userspace
backlight requested during teardown.
This is a real world problem on machines using systemd, because systemd,
for some reason, wants to restore the backlight to the level it used last
time. And that happens as soon as it sees the backlight device appearing
in the system. Sometimes the userspace access makes it through before
the modeset init, sometimes not.
