The default is applied only in the case where no valid register
settings have been found to be initialized by the BIOS.  Hence the
only systems that will be affected by this patch are the ones whose
backlight PWM is already improperly configured.  Hence, I think
affected systems will either benefit from this change or be made no
worse, as they were already broken.

That said, I do think the patch could use some more explanation in
comments and the patch description.
