6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 327e62f47eb57ae5ff63de82b0815557104e439a upstream.
Currently amdgpu takes backlight caps provided by the ACPI tables on systems as is. If the firmware sets maximums that are too low this means that users don't get a good experience.
To avoid having to maintain a quirk list of such systems, do a sanity check on the values. Check that the spread is at least half of the values that amdgpu would use if no ACPI table was found and if not use the amdgpu defaults.
