[PATCH] drm/amd/display: use linear backlight curve on Linux

[Aarav Kumar]

The power module currently uses a non-linear backlight curve for the
Linux backlight path. This results in incorrect brightness levels on
affected systems.

Use the linear backlight curve instead to preserve the existing
brightness-to-PWM mapping.

Tested on an AMD laptop with an eDP panel. The regression was
reproduced with commit 3c108046e1d6 ("drm/amd/display: Add power
module on Linux"), and the brightness behavior was restored with this
change.
