Unfortunately, it turned out that the DPCD is also not a reliable way of probing for DPCD backlight support as some panels will lie and say they have DPCD backlight controls when they don't actually.
So, revert back to the old behavior and add a bunch of EDID-based DP quirks for the panels that we know need this. As you might have already guessed, OUI quirks didn't seem to be a very safe bet for these panels due to them not having their device IDs filled out.
