Agree, thanks.

In this way, we keep them independent, but we control every backlight
in drm_panel. The questions are the systemd and distribution(sorry, I
am just a junior, I use them). Generally, the systemd will create
serivce for every backlight sysfs. I encountered that they saved
different backlight values, even if I set the same value manually.
As for distribution, it seems that only half backlight is controlled.
I encountered that only half backlight got dimmed.
