drm/i915: safeguard against too high minimum brightness
Never trust (your interpretation of) the VBT. Regression from
commit 6dda730e55f412a6dfb181cae6784822ba463847

drm/i915: respect the VBT minimum backlight brightness
causing div by zero if VBT minimum brightness equals maximum brightness.
Despite my attempts I've failed in my detective work to figure out what
the root cause is. This is not the real fix, but we have to do
something.
