[Impact]
BOE 2270 panel is used by several models of ThinkPads.
This brightness can not be controlled by default PWM.

[Fix]
The panel claims both PWM and AUX supports.
But actually PWM works on SDR mode, AUX works on HDR mode.
Intel i915 driver got a new SDR support to use PWM by maintainer, still
in upstream review.
To fix this on certain project, use a quirk first to fix this.
The maintainer's fix can be backported in future.

[Test Case]
Backlight brightness can be changed.

[Regression Potential]
The BOE 2270 backlight brightness can not be changed.
Fix for specific panel ID, no effects for others.
Send it to groovy, oem-5.6 already got one.
