Subject: [PATCH 1/2] pwm: mtk-disp: Disable shadow registers before setting backlight values

If shadow registers usage is not desired, disable that before performing
any write to CON0/1 registers in the .apply() callback, otherwise we may
lose clkdiv or period/width updates.

Not necessarily part of this series, but I guess it would make sense to remove
the "For MT2701". It's no longer exclusive to that SoC and the condition in the
if above makes it clear when this happens.

Thanks for the review and test!

Anyway, for that "For MT2701", well, it ... should actually be exclusive to that
SoC (and some others) because, in reality, MT8183, MT8186, MT8192, MT8195 and
also almost all MediaTek smartphone SoCs do have shadow registers which we should
use for the backlight.

The bls_debug writes that we do are to disable writing to shadow registers and
performing commits because this driver does not (yet) support mtk_mutex handling.

The right thing to do here would be to grab a mtk_mutex, lock it, write shadow
registers, perform "backlighting adjustment magic" in mediatek_drm, commit, unlock.

Now, the "backlighting adjustment magic" is something that we do not support (yet?)
in mediatek_drm, and it's also not really easy to implement: part of that magic
needs RGB ALS readings and implementation of some more IP, which serves the purpose
of, for example, adjusting the backlight PWM while taking account of some GAMMA
adjustments to enhance readability of the screen in direct sunlight, or to decrease
(slightly) power consumption of a display lit at night.

So... the current way that we're using right now (which is disabling the shadow
registers and performing direct writes to working registers to atomically set the
backlight) is something that *should* disappear in *a* future in which that "magic"
gets somehow properly implemented.

This 9k lines mail, just to say that "For MT2701" is technically exclusive to that
SoC, between the number of supported SoCs of this driver :-P

Cheers!
