According to Dell, trying to match their panels via OUI is not reliable enough and we've been told that we should check against the EDID instead. As well, Dell seems to have some panels that are actually intended to switch between using PWM for backlight controls and DPCD for backlight controls depending on whether or not the panel is in HDR or SDR mode. Yikes.
Regardless, we need to add quirks for these so that DPCD backlight controls get enabled by default, since without additional driver support that's the only form of brightness control that will work. Hopefully in the future we can remove these quirks once we have a better way of probing for this.
Changes since v1: * Add one more EDID per Dell's request * Remove model number (which is possibly wrong) and replace with Dell CML 2020 systems
