Bug Description

[Impact]

the brightness of the internal panel can get set to the lowest value when going through the display modes and back to internal-only mode

this is fixed in a later upstream release, but that can't be backported so a distro patch is needed

[Test case]

use the laptop hotkey to switch between modes until you get a blank internal panel

[Regression potential]

slim, the patch is simple enough
