find the regression and here is the fix, maybe ugly.

--------
this regression is caused by this commit. In fact, KMS doesn't not handle
backlight properly as we think. I don't know where to put the code, so I
use above code in xf86-intel-driver to fix this issue.
In fact, KMS initialize mode as DPMSOFF, and X set to it to ON after start.
And if any mode is changed, it will set to 'correct' status: OFF. Thus xrandr
can
not change backlight any more. So a better solution shoule be there. Any
suggestion?

display: outputs are enabled automatically by KMS
When an output is attached to a crtc and that crtc is enabled, the
output is automatically enabled so we can remove the redundant manual
dpms on.
