Screen brightness can only be changed once on HP ZBook Fury 16 G10.

The vendor reports that the issue is related to the fact that Linux doesn't
invoke _PS0 at boot for all ACPI devices, as expected by the platform firmware:

    Scope (\_SB.PC00.GFX0)
    {
        Scope (DD1F)
        {
            Method (_PS0, 0, Serialized)  // _PS0: Power State 0
            {
                If (CondRefOf (\_SB.PC00.LPCB.EC0.SSBC))
                {
                    \_SB.PC00.LPCB.EC0.SSBC ()
                }
            }
	    ...
	}
	...
    }

The \_SB.PC00.GFX0.DD1F is the panel device, and its _PS0 needs to be
executed at the initialization time to make the brightness control work
properly.

_PS0 is not evaluated for this device, because _PSC is missing,
which violates the ACPI specification (ACPI 6.5, section 7.3.6).

Commit b3785492268f ("ACPI / PM: Do not power manage devices in unknown
initial states") tried to work around missing _PSC on platforms with
defective firmware, but got reverted due to a regression.

So the safest approach is to use acpi_device_fix_up_power_extended() to
put ACPI video and its child devices to D0 to address the issue at hand.
