4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Francis <david.fran...@amd.com>
[ Upstream commit 53a53f8687faf492df2644d8c18ff0217fc18730 ]
[Why]
If there is no program explicitly setting the backlight
brightness (for example, during a minimal install of linux), the
hardware defaults to maximum brightness but the backlight_device
defaults to 0 value. Thus, settings displays the wrong brightness
value.
[How]
When creating the backlight device, set brightness to max
